When trying to access page 7 of the above thread I get a warning page as per below. Is this really harmful or just Google Chrome being a bit jumpy ?

 
Looking at the page sources, it's coming from Eversmile's avatar (which is hotlinked from Dropbox).

There's no danger here, Google is just freaking out about Dropbox for some reason. Might be worth suggesting that Eversmile uploads his avatar to these boards rather than hotlinking though.

I also get a warning in Firefox 3 but only when I try to open the image alone. I have no problem looking at the thread page with the avatar.
I guess he should upload his avatar to the site, seems like the easiest solution.
 
You can safely ignore this warning. It nicely shows the stupidity of such blacklists. dropbox.com is a file hoster. Apparently someone hosted malware there and now Google says "everything at dropbox.com is dangerous".
