Homeworkshop site problem

It is not just BT: I am using Virgin cable and am unable to access the site. I get blocked by Virgin's security, before it even reaches my anti-virus.

I'm on ntl, which is part of Virgin, and I have no problem. Using Firefox browser.

No problems at al all. BTinternet, Edge and Windows 10.

No problem accessing homeworkshop.org.uk

Just accessed site from Virgin media no probs; seems as though there was a hacking attempt into their server but it's protection system kicked in & stopped all access from outside.

I started a thread on this last year, problem went away for a a while ,checked again and its back again.

I never did find out what the problem was or is. Was on windows 10 but since gone back to win7.

On BT and using kaspersky which states its a malicious phishing site . I tried alsorts last time including adding to save website lists within antivirus etc.. nothing worked .Even when i disable Kaspersky ,still cant access the site.

Problem is the advert site is running on very old software and may things have moved on. We have gone from XP thru to Windows 10 and many forms of browser.

The site clearly needs an upgrade from the old Joomla software it runs on.

It costs a fair bit to run the site as regards bandwidth etc but it's not about the money.

What it is about is the time to do a complete re-write on more modern software and then field all the posts that say they don't like the changes.

We have run the site now since 2005 and if truth is known it's really time to hand over to a new set of hands.

Neither small son or myself can spare the time for a re-write on something that never even clears expenses and as you can see from the replies above some can access it no problems and others can't so does the problem lie at our end or the users end ?

Can you just upgrade the Joomla version and any extensions?

That might help.

Full access here in TH via Mozilla.

This site needs saving!

Look at it EVERY day.

Bought a bunch of stuff off it over the years inc my Boxford shaper.

For what it is, it's the most useful buy and sell machine tools, workshop stuff, measuring equipment et al etc etc in the UK IMHO.
