I got the same thing and about an hour later I tried again, it didn't reappear.
I got the same thing last night and then again today. It is still there the only work around was using Google Chrome today.

It comes up and blocks entry in Chrome and Firefox but not in Explorer.

I am in the process of addressing it with Google. Apparently google doesn't like the fact that the pages with photos on them are blocked from indexing. This was a decision made when the site was first launched to protect photographers' images from being stolen and appearing in an image search.
On Chrome if you click on DETAILS at the bottom left of the screen there's a hyperlink that will allow you to access the site from there. I thought it was odd when it started a few days ago, but I've had no difficulty accessing the site.

I have been having the same issues and have been unable to access the site using Chrome, Internet explorer or Opera. I had to disable the web shield portion of my virus protection in order to be able to access the site again. Any update on this Ed? Skip.. I don't see a "details" tab on the bottom left of the Google screen. Any assistance or suggestions would be appreciated as I prefer not to have to keep part of my virus protection disabled. Thanks!

I have had to do the same to enter the site.

The Chrome at work won't allow me to bypass the safety warning.
Has anyone looked into this any more? I still get it with Chrome.
No problem with chrome on my iPad. If I use a Pc I have issues with the site.

Still fighting with them....
Looks like this problem with Google has been resolved. The obnoxious message is no longer displayed.
Thank you Ed.

It appears that some old ads that weren't displaying were causing the problem. They are still unhappy that I will not allow them to webcrawl the pages with photos, but they appear to have come to their senses.
