Hmm.. someone may have posted a link or something to that site in a thread causing the warning. Let me know what page/thread URL you loaded to receive that error so we can clean it up.

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
Lomag - I get the same warning everytime I enter a thread where El_Immigrante has posted a reply. I don't know what it is but it may be due to the little icon he has in his sig with a "smiley face" DJ.
Thanks
Thanks

OK, I've removed any reference to mustangmods.com from his signature and will PM him about it. Do you still get the waring/error?
Let me check, did you see the warning as well? I didn't mean to single him out, but it was everytime he replied to a thread. THanks

It was indeed El Immigrante's signature picture that was the cause of the issue as he had it hotlinked from that particular site. I used to get the same warnings when using Chrome.
