Stopped from looking at Horsequest!

[Butterbean]

Am intrigued ... the network at work won't let me access Horsequest pages due to the presence of banned words! What on earth is being advertised there??
Does anyone else have this problem at work with rigorous internet monitors?
I already can't access HHO at work, or the local Riding Events page ... someone in IT is no doubt compiling a dossier of all my dodgy site viewings

It probably has a few inocuous words that americans think are rude (as most of the web filter software is american). Almost every horse website is blocked, except my own livery yard strangely enough. As they monitor web usage and regularly sack people for excessive use, I confine my browsing to home!

Perhaps your bank manager asked them to block all such money spending opportunities?
Or perhaps words like 'stallion' were too much for them?

According to the IT department, the policy at my work is that employees can use the computors for private browsing within reason. Within the last few weeks, I can no longer access my Virgin email page (although I can access the rest of the Virgin media site!), My ebay (although the rest of ebay is fine) or the forum New Rider. Yet I can everything else including Horse and Hound forum
