I don't see anything apparent here, so why should this be blocked as a Harvester? The site he comes from is legit and so apparently is the address. What in particular was the thing that triggered this block?

Have you manually added harvesters? Was this a one time thing or does it happen to him all the time?

No, not that I remember. I haven't played around with any of the setting in ages. It seems to be just this one, I think, or at least that I am aware of. I must admit it is also the first time I recall seeing any reference to "EmbeddedWB", whatever that is.

Have you checked to see if it is in the Harvesters list?

Posted: Sun Jan 03, 2010 11:29 am

Okay, stupid question - where do I find the harvesters list? See, I told you it was a stupid question. Embarassed

Go to the harvesters menu in NS and then click display harvesters.

Oh yah... forgot about that. Confused

Told you it had been a long time since I did anything with any of those settings as the Sentinal system has been working so well.

Anyway, I see nothing here. My list is as follows:
