I have access to every other brewing site out there but my work blocks access to this site. Do you know why that might be and is there anything you can do to change that?

Very odd. It could be a mistake. Do you know what service or software is doing the blocking? Is there any company name on the block message? Does it mentioned a reason or category that they believe our website falls under?

I'll have to check it out again for the message. It's websense that blocks it out and I think that it said something about 'dangerous content', but I'll have to check it again to be sure. I know that at least one other person has had this issue.

If you aren't worried about getting caught, you can hack websense in the registry :sarcasm:Our websense is currently down so I have free reign on sites, but a co-worker was told how to hack it by our desktop support manger after he gave the one finger solute to the company about 5 weeks ago.I can bug him to find out what the key is.I'll have to check it out again for the message.

That's great because we didn't do anything. I'm speculating that your content filter blocks by default and it just hadn't accumulated enough data yet to decide if we were something that it was going to allow through. I have no idea if that's reasonable or not but I'm going with it until somebody throws water on it.
