Blogger problems

If anyone had problems with my blog yesterday, it was because Blogger decided that my blog--and, by association, all of your links--were 'dangerous phishing sites'!! I had to click past the red warning screen on each link to comment the first part of the day.

I am happy to report that, apparently, someone really DOES read feedback that we send. When  I told them that it was a link up that has been going for over a year, your blogs stopped coming up with a warning and, eventually, I could click on my own blog without the 'big scary red screen'!

I have to wonder how their algorithms tagged me after all this time, but it seems things are back to normal.

Good to know the problem has been worked out. I do hate when my blog links don't work properly.

Same problem here two mornings ago, seemed to fix itself. I read that blogger had been hacked but the problem has been fixed.

I had a different problem They removed about 9 posts from my blog saying they were not with in the guidelines etc and then a day later reinstated them!!! Have a great week ahead

I am glad that the problem has been solved. Hope it won't happen again. Have a good weekend.

Same problem: red phishing alert screen. I reported, then I tried to find out what it was about. All the blogs on the blogspot had this problem - those of WP or those with their own domain did not.
When there are such alerts we have to check for „security issues” in Google Search Console and if "no danger alert" appears it's ok.
Whatever it was, I'm glad it worked out.

Sorry to hear about your problem with Blogger! I've had issues in the past so I know how frustrating that can be. Ugh!

Du bist heute nicht die einzige, der soetwas passiert ist.
Ich habe schon 2 Blog besucht, die von gleichen Problemen berichten.
Ich hoffe, es ist alles wieder gut.
LG. Karin M.

Some of the links on here have been coming up with the red screen for quite a while now, blogs I had regularly visited for the entire time I linked up myself. Even other blogger sites are affected. My readers stated they couldn't comment because they apparently had breached the guidelines and were posting things that had to be censored. No idea what blogger is up to this time, after that horrible new interface with all it's problems.

I just read the same thing on another blog, so it must have been more than just you! I'm still having different problems with makinig comments on some blogs, but I wonder if it is partly the same thing.

I had that problem too. They took down posts. It was bizzare.
