I tried searching for answer and couldn't find one in the forums. I have had many customers tell me that they can not view my website through their business computer because it comes up blocked as porn. First I was amused and now I would just like my clients to be able to view their wedding photos whenever they want. If anyone knows how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it.

They may be at WORK where their company blocks sites like SmugMug, Flickr, etc.

A lot of companies use WEBSENSE to filter content. I just checked and Websense has your site in their category called SEX. That is using your domain: http://www.capturedbytree.com/

If I go to capturedbytree.smugmug.com all is well because that is listed as PHOTO/SHARING site in Websense.

My spouse's company used to have SmugMug blocked at work (as well as other photo sharing sites). For him though, that meant my own Smug site was blocked as well. I don't know if it was Websense or what. But now we're not blocked anymore-- he can view the site at work. We've never known what changed. Certainly there's content here (not on my site, but on other Smug sites) that would be considered adult content by Websense.

Well.. SmugMug *is* sexy.. but porn is a stretch.

Pencil-neck geek at work *tried* to enact the Sonic Wall crap- but the howls of indignation were too loud for his sensitive ears.

My site was fine from work (we use Websense as well) until I switched to a custom domain name...then it was tagged as "malicious content". lol Fortunately, I am in the IT dept and was able to request it be unblocked.
