As Alan has pointed out we have a problem, in that clicking on some pictures to enlarge them brings up an error message "This website has been reported as unsafe".
I have removed completely the National Forest posting of 18th February, but that has not improved matters since some earlier postings still have the problem.
Some pictures are unaffected and never more than one in a posting.
If you do not click to enlarge pictures, then everything appears normal.
We think that it is confined to Internet Explorer and not other browsers.
Please let us know if you see a problem here or even if not.
Comment on the Blog or send an Email if you prefer.
We wish to eliminate the problem ASAP so any help appreciated.
If all else fails we will delete the whole Blog and start a new one under a different name.

This seems to be a relatively common problem and seems to be due to a shortcoming in Microsoft's algorithm (within Internet Explorer) for deciding which sites are suspicious.
The error message gives an option to report to Microsoft that the site is fine - Microsoft then reply that they will look into it. If everyone does this then it might be fixed quickly.
The Internet has a few discussions about this problem on other blogs so I think we can assume that there isn't a problem with the Rangers Blog but a problem in how IE works with the Blogger (owned by Google - a big competitor of Microsoft!) sites.
Workaround is to use another browser such as Firefox or Chrome (which are free).
You can sometimes get similar messages from people spreading viruses to try and encourage you to visit their suspect site to download a program to sort out the problem. Don't respond to these as they will install a virus on your system!
Les, may I suggest that blog posters and viewers do not use Microsoft internet explorer, this is known to be a very unsafe browser to use. I suggest people use google chrome, safari or firefox.

Ian seems to have hit on the right note. Enter the site from Google Chrome, and there is no problem. Also as Ian subtly suggested. Might be related to the conflicts between Microsoft and Google! We are at the mercy of the "Almightys" it appears.
Temporary remedy. Use an alternative browser!

I switched to Chrome a few weeks ago because of problems with Internet Explorer and have had no problems since - including the Ranger's blog.

What is the present position Les?
Try another photo to see what occurs.
