I access this site from an employers desktop computer, company issued IPad and a cell phone .
Since last weekend my work computer and cell phone still show this site in maintenance mode .
What am I doing wrong ????
-
Ok disregard now it works on my cell phone I'll check my work computer on Monday when I get back to work.

Be careful what you look at and when. 10 mins on this website at lunchtime will not cause an issue at friendly companies (unless policy says....). 3 hours trading on ebay at 2 on a Monday afternoon or looking for a new partner at any time might set your IT investigating you.
We are a smallish (100 employees) company, but getting larger and IT security is a big thing. We have an IT security manager now. He doesn't wear a brown shirt or shiny boots, but lets be careful (in) there! :deal2:

A rather large organisation I worked for was quite generous in what you could search for on the internet, as sometimes you required such a tool. The usual caveats applied which are mainly common sense.
We did have one bloke who was pinged as being in the top ten users of the tubeofu during work time. His stupidity included taking a sick day to go to a sporting event and then posting on faceache.
At least when I took a sickie to go to the footy, I was a bit more subtle about it and had the courtesy to inform my acting supervisor the day before so that it was not unexpected. In fact she even suggested I take the day off in anticipation of that game.

Directors put the footy on the big screen at work so we could watch a big match a couple years ago. You were meant to make up your hours of course. We do that anyhow.... which is why I'm doing my expenses on a Sunday night. But then I can take an hour in the morning to go to solicitors. Swings and roundabouts, as long as they are declared.
Internet is a giant bear trap if you employer doesn't like something though. I look to see how its going in Gaza occasionally and I also fly racing drones, so look for stuff about that as well. The combined algorithm might be a red flag. Best to stay off the work machine - and don't use the same browser at home as they use at work 8)
Our politicians like to use Whatsapp and Messenger to communicate state secrets as well as text you'd never say in public. It's a field day for the press :-\

My cell phone is stuck in R65.org maintenance mode .
This is not an employer induced issue .
I’m using my employer issued IPad right now .
-
Bob...... must be something to do with you being a Moderator. Us urchins cannot put anything in "maintenance mode"
-
Not sure what to tell you, Bob. If it's only one device with the issue it almost has to be something on there. I use my phone as a phone so I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to apps and internet browsing from the phone.
-
My company issued IPad works fine my phone and desktop at work still show R65.org in maintenance mode .
-
Cookies? The only time I can think of that the forum goes into maintenance mode is during a backup. Possibly you logged in from these devices during a backup and a cookie got stuck, or something?
-
Looks like r65.org is down, that's the old old site. bmwr65.org is here and well.
-
That was the issue, I was using r65.org, not BMWR65.org !!
It’s odd, that r65.org worked for years, then it quit .
-
The previous admin of the forum kept r65.org registered and had a redirect on it so apparently he let the registration lapse...
