Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Is anyone else having a problem viewing the RV-Dream blog?  My AVG software stops the connection with the warning of a possible virus.  This has occurred the last two days.  What's up with that????cry

My AVG is also wanting to block me from Howard's journal and it started yesterday.  I was wondering what was up and if it was only happening to me.  It will be interesting to see if Howard changed his journal entries some way.

YES, I've had trouble on the whole journal, forum and chatroom.  There's another person in chat having the same problem.  I just click the AVG that says allow.  I know it's ok.

I am by no means an expert but maybe it has to do with how long it's been since you have updated or something.I run updates once a week.Don't know , just throwing something out there to see if it sticks.

Not sure what's going on.  We heard from three others today about this.

One was using Firefox when the problem occurred.  No problem when she switched to Internet Explorer.  Not sure what the other two were using, but I have emails out to them asking.

I haven't had the message at all when we've accessed the site.  However, I did get the message yesterday when I tried to access the Camping World website.  Wonder if it is something to do with a recent AVG update.

I'm clueless.  smile

I had the problem using XP, Firefox and free AVG 8.5 so I upgraded to free AVG 9.0 and it still occurs. It is complaining about an IP address, probably because one of the ads is from that IP address.

Edit: I did a little digging and this is the info that AVG is using - http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?md5=4cfdc8f1b23d66d280e6f650208f1570. The IP address is on the list. It would be a Macromedia Flash exploit. My Flash is up-to-date so I am not worried.

I did not have the issue with 8.5 but it now occurs with AVG 9.0.

I'm still running 8.5 with Firefox. Maybe that explains why I have not had a problem.Was going to update to 9.0 but will now rethink that.

I'm also running AVG Free 8.5, but with IE and no problems.  I've been using AVG Free for at least 2 years and no problems getting on RV-Dreams.

I'm still having the problem. Yes, it began after AVG updated to 9.0 I miss Howard and Linda. I think we "passed in the dark" too! We left Augusta, GA on Oct. 26 and are heading to Livingston,TX. I believe you guys are heading east. Have a safe trip. I'll keep trying to connect to the blog!

I can get the blog again on firefox.   Mozilla Firefox has an upgrade available that seems to have fixed the problem.  Look under help on firefox to see if it works for you.
