It's looked like this all day at work:

I think the WebSense filter there is blocking some shit... all Gawker sites look like this. Which is funny, because when Autoblog went to their current format, something in IT made it look like this too, or it was a coincidence.

Oh well, another reason to hate the Nazi IT people/person at the company I work for. I may research a way around it, unless anyone has any helpful hints?

Running WIN7 Pro with Chrome and IE9, all run through the bullshit WebSense internet filter.

Well, it's better than what I get. My school categories Oppositelock/Jalopnik as pornography. I was able to access the site for over 3 years and just recently did they decide it was bad. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in the school who goes on it so I have no clue what brought them to block it.

This occasionally happens to me if I happen to be refreshing the page and my wifi craps itself. Oddly, the edit button shows up for everybody's posts when this happens and it will open the editor in the mobile view. This should probably be looked into before it's abused.

Either something in the program they used picked up on something, or some IT person was bored one night, was going through the history of sites, clicked on oppo, and opened a NSFW post.

At least, thats how I imagine things like this happen.

Jalopposite lock was completely blocked for me a few weeks ago, under the category "GAMES", and then a day later it was unblocked. Now this.

Yeah I noticed a LOT of stuff otherwise hidden.

When I turned work WiFi off on my phone, and went on oppo via my carrier's 4G, it looked fine. So I spent the day watching YouTube, and streaming iHeart radio, just to suck up as much bandwith from work as possible. THAT'LL TEACH THEM.

They're blocking Gawker Images (img.gawkerassets.com). I came across this a while back at my school. With a little bit of digging I came to the conclusion that they blocked it back when Fleshbot ( Wikipedia ) was owned by Gawker and used the same images server/url. Apparently when a url gets blocked, it's blocked for good.

You can easily get around this blocking with a free VPN. Hotspot Shield is my personal favourite, but there's a myriad of similar options out there.

I'm wating for it to get blocked at school lol... it works but is glitchy a lot becuase although the computers are running Windows 7, we use IE8! I'm going to request Chrome soon though...

Up until today everything was working fine except for login.

My school blocks login because it classifies Kinja as pr0n.

Today, this happened. I don't know why.
