I've lost the picture of the tennis net at the top of the main page, is that the same for everyone, can it be remedied or is it time for a change?

Yes, this:

Picture should be here, but appears to have gone

Sorry guys, just seen this! Image had to be re-hosted. It's been so long since I first created this forum (12 years this June!), that some links and stuff end up expiring!

Fixed now :)

Miriambee · Futures level

Thanks, much better. It doesn't seem to be back on the home page, but certainly back on the forum.

Unrelated, but has anyone had a virus issue when accessing the forum on an android phone? Just playing with my new phone and managed to get a virus. Seems to be fixed thanks to my technical support (aka my husband!), but a pain and I would never have been able to sort it myself.

wolf · Tennis legend

Yes me too, been happening for a few weeks. Well I haven't had a virus that I know of, but I get that a different page come up and just click back.

I haven't seen this - it would be useful to know a few more details and how many people it is affecting, though I doubt there's much we can do about it.

I did message yourself and Sheddie about this a couple of months ago Steven.

I actually had this problem on my own website, again only when accessing it via a mobile phone. My web guy could not find a fault for a long time, insisting it was the users problem but he did eventually locate it and problem now gone. If you need details I can contact and ask what he did to solve it?

Jan · Hall of fame

Sorry - was away for a couple of days.
Not sure I can shed much light. It was my first foray onto the internet on a phone(!). Chose this forum to start with, and almost immediately a very undesirable site appeared, and then the "warning you have a virus", at which point panic set in and I handed my phone to my husband!! (I'm sure I shouldn't be admitting that but...). It had made Chrome unusable. Various fixes tried, which I can't really remember (OK I probably didn't understand). I think part of it was to disable Chrome and the enable it again, as well as other anti-virus stuff. Eventually it was ok. Phew.
There, that's as clear as mud isn't it!!!

Not sure it's as distasteful as Jan's website but last few days I'll be on here on Android and a page to do with asda and a virus warning appears and only way I can get rid is to close down. It's only from this site though. Maybe asda is distasteful to some, I can't say, but it does come up with warning about a virus etc as well

I know you did but I still haven't seen it myself so was wondering whether people were seeing the same thing or various variations on the theme.

This isn't our site (unlike britishtennis.net - i.e. the stats pages, which are hosted on my webspace) so we're totally reliant on Activeboard and there isn't anything we can tweak ourselves. I could contact them, of course (possibly Sheddie would have to because the forum is registered to him) and if we can offer them a potential solution, they might be more likely to act, so it would help to know what your web guy did to solve it, if you don't mind asking him.

This is what I got last time, though it redirects through a few pages to get to that.

Recognised the Asda thing ( to do with Samsung phone and an Asda giftcard reward ) but wasn't sure that I'd been on here at the time. Well I just got it again. Came away from it without getting a virus warning message but think I might have had one previously.

Note - I was on a Samsung Galaxy android phone at the time and when I posted the above.

It seems as though the image at the top of the page has gone missing again - or is it just for me.

The British Tennis logo (as per the Aliblahblah post in this thread) has been replaced with an image from "Tinypic" that says "This image is no longer available".
