At work UKB is blocked by something called Websense under the category forums and hobbies or something. Is there any way around this?

Thanks

You'd have to befriend a techy with the ability to take it off the black list. It is probably an automatic block. Not sure how you can explain that it is crucial to the job you do!? What ever that is.  :-\ Bribery would probably work well. Our new filter is shit, it has a phrase blocker so it randomly blocks stuff when it feels like it... www.google.com for example.  :(

Can you install an RSS reader?

You could read posts that way

have you tried ukbouldering.com as opposed to www.ukbouldering.com? i've found websense only blocks the latter. :thumbsup:
