It seems whilst trying to show folks on site who might be coming out next trip we've come across a small problem.

CompanyWebsite said:
Your organization's Internet use policy restricts access to this web page at this time.

Reason:
The Websense category "Social Networking" is filtered.

URL:
http://www.stevecarter.com/

I guess your site is flagged as being socially orientated ?

I had noticed that whilst onsite I've been unable to see any of your pics.

Anyone else that's running Websense get the same error or is it just this place.

Hmmmm... I've had this once before, but not sure what I can do about it. It seems a very rare occurence.

No problem - I can get round it - but other peoples machines are restricted.

Never mind - at least it was Social Networking and not like one yesterday - Arms, Ammunition and Weapons smile



I did note on Websense that suggestions for changes to the database may be emailed to suggest@websense.com

I used to sell Websense hehe

You're screwed really - lots of companies will lock down an acceptable usage policy to what they'd like you to see on the web. It's becoming more commonplace nowadays to drill into applications as well as URLs

If it's possible that the person who got the redirect can look at the page from home, thats probably the easiest way around that. They'll probably get a redirect next time to say blogs are blocked
