On May 15, Enterprise Network Services will be upgrading the company's Web site filtering database. As a result, users may be denied access to Web sites that were previously available.
The new database is more robust, providing improved accuracy in categorizing Web sites, as well as real-time assessment. This product will enhance the security of *where I work*, mitigating the company's risk from malicious sites.
If you are denied access to a Web site that was previously viewable, you may find out more information on why the site was blocked [PDF 29K].
If you feel there is a business justification to access a newly blocked site, you should contact HelpMe and open a Remedy ticket. Senior management approval will be necessary for any exceptions."
Yeah, the pdf is 100% telling me I will not be able to view the board. Major suckage......
^^ You may be in luck. I work at a place that blocks almost EVERYTHING, But fortunately not inforoo.
Sincerely doubt it. I can't even go to photobucket and half the smilies are blocked as are most avatars and pics posted here.
There's a restaurant here called Sticky Rice. It's a hipster sushi bar. We kept getting the pornography filter. Some one emailed us the menu in a pdf - "sticky balls" are a bad thing!

I haven't had outside email for about 5 years.....
^^^ I feel your pain - no photobucket or flickr here - no twitter, no FB and no myspace
but - I do have outside email and have been able to get here and my other boards.
But apparently Victoria's Secret or any other store that sells swimwear is off limits and classified as "Online Shopping, Provocative Attire" by the filter here at work - yet I can go to Old Navy, Wal-mart, Target, JC Penny - just about any other shopping site

I basically check the news, ebay, craigslist and a few other sites at work. All cool band and concert sites along with email and almost everything else is blocked at work. It does help keep up productivity. Our boss said the GM saw some pepole in my dept on the net and they relayed that down from the top for us to curb extraneous use. Now to buy an iphone to get around this blockage. I get $15 off the $70 iphone plan thru work, no reason not to. goodbye verizon.

Ours is very interesting about blocking. I can get to Inforoo, but not much else. They killed me when they blocked my Sirius online. I can get the local NPR station, but not much else. I is really strange how things are coded.
REMEDY - ack!!!!! I've not had to deal with that since getting caught in a RIF 10 years ago.
When I bought my plane ticket for roo I couldn't open the confirmation email. Some jave script blocking. And I couldn't forward it to my home email. wtf?
I was able to pdf it. There was nothing on it that should have been blocked.
I like to eat and sleep in a bed, so can't quit the job.
I don't WANT a fucking iphone. But I think there is no alternative. Bonnaroo is in just a few weeks. Must have Inforoo.

I would be soooo bored at work. I am on inforoo or looking up bands all day long. Today I am working a 12 hour shift in a small hospital that isn't very busy. I've had time to check out almost every band playing on the farm. My productivity is at a snail's pace since I found this site.

Try a proxy website. If they aren't blocked then you can still get to inforoo at work.
To sum up how they work, you goto this proxy website, and they act as the server masking whatever website you may be going to so the block doesn't affect you. This may not work however as I have found a lot of blockers stop these sites also. Proxy.org is a good one to find 6000+ websites you can use though.
Ouch! Wow painful to not be able to get on inforoo all day this close to June!
I work at a library and we have a porn filter but that is about it. It used to block photobucket but they fixed it. I would go crazy without the internet at work! They can't really block any site other than porn since we are a reference tool to our patrons. We have to look things up for them on all kinds of websites.
^^^Bunny - if it's any help at all - proxies don't work for me either - BUT - I am nto about to have Inforoo blocked. All you can do is try it after Friday - it might slip through the cracks
Major suckage......
