Title: The Cloud WiFi - PhotoBucket - The Coffee Shop Post by: thetrout on December 20, 2012, 21:56:32 This is the second time this has happened on my computer. But today I thought I'd see what was going on. My first suspicions were that bignosemac (Not singling you out... Honest!) had messed up the IMG link, But then I realised this had happened before with his Bumper Christmas Quiz. Which later loaded fine on my laptop.

I had seen that very picture on RailUK which you wouldn't be able to as a Guest. You would need to be registered and logged in. So I looked at the source. Actually BNM was pulling the image in from his PhotoBucket account. So I copied the link into my browser to see if it was a red herring all along. Well I certainly wasn't expecting this to come up.............. :-\ :-X ;D (https://a056694931a8e2c33898-cc9074a6778b0478e6a17df6690d8cbe.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/TheCloudWiFiFilterFail.png) So what was the common factor in all of these events. I was using a "The Cloud" WiFi hotspot... Time to start the VPN connection then.......... Oops did I just say that out loud...! ;D :P ;) *Edit - Typo* thetrout :-X Title: Re: The Cloud WiFi - PhotoBucket - The Coffee Shop Post by: JayMac on December 21, 2012, 03:01:28 Well I never!
There ain't no mucky pictures in my Photobucket account. And the terms of use don't allow any pornography to be uploaded or hosted either. Methinks The Cloud's filters are being a bit over-zealous. I re-upped the original image so that I could re-size it. Did you click that link to report the incorrect block? Title: Re: The Cloud WiFi - PhotoBucket - The Coffee Shop Post by: thetrout on December 21, 2012, 14:50:05 I didn't at the time no. But now I've learned that Photobucket has an AUP against Pornography, I will include that and a link in a report when I'm in Giraffe later this evening.
Agreed, though. Definitely Overzealous Filtering. I personally cannot stand content filtering hence why I will use a VPN connection which overrides such filters and stops people packet sniffing me on Public WiFi hotspots too :) Title: Re: The Cloud WiFi - PhotoBucket - The Coffee Shop Post by: JayMac on December 21, 2012, 21:32:24 Yes. Nothing worse than having your packet sniffed! Arf arf. :P ;) ;D
Title: Re: The Cloud WiFi - PhotoBucket - The Coffee Shop Post by: thetrout on December 21, 2012, 21:44:12 Yes. Nothing worse than having your packet sniffed! Arf arf. :P ;) ;D Well once I reach Souffend I can't rule out that happening... fnarr fnarr :P :D :o Title: Re: The Cloud WiFi - PhotoBucket - The Coffee Shop Post by: LiskeardRich on December 21, 2012, 22:26:55 As i was curious to find why filter thinks "bignosemac" is pornography I decided to google to find if he had a pornograhic cousin. Sadly BNM doesnt have any pornography namd after him, however I was disapointed to find the top google result is BNM's Daily Mail profile.
Title: Re: The Cloud WiFi - PhotoBucket - The Coffee Shop Post by: JayMac on December 21, 2012, 22:48:00 One shouldn't do so, but on reading that I've just Googled myself. (Well, my bignosemac alter ego)
I get returns from this forum, RailUK Forums, thisisexeter.co.uk and game-debate.com (PC gaming website) before the Daily Mail. Still slightly shocked that with only one or two comments left at MailOnline in the past 5 years I rank that high on a Google search. What do I need to do to get that search ranking to drop, or preferably disappear? :o :o :o Title: Re: The Cloud WiFi - PhotoBucket - The Coffee Shop Post by: swrural on December 22, 2012, 10:59:45 @BNM
What emerges is that neither you nor I have ever done what you just did (look up one's non-de-plume). It never occurred to me to do such, nor you clearly. Congratulations, BNM, neither of us are internet saddos, now we have the proof...... :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
