    1. From my own testing they *are* clickable, but the content doesn’t display properly because an iPhone screen is a bit too small. If you hold it in landscape orientation you might see some of it, but this is really best (at this point) for a desktop screen or a tablet.

      I’m going to work with the style sheet to try and fix that.

      Peace,
      -S

  2. Lately, every time I go to this web page I get the message ‘dangerous URL blocked’. The URL is coinhive.com. Is that something to do with this site or is it something else? Should I be worried about it?

  3. My antivirus software keeps blocking this site as dangerous so I had to disable the security settings to be able to access this site…. I am trying to get them to remove it from their system as dangerous… I use Norton Security and up untilI installed the antivirus I never had trouble accessing this site. I hope that the servers will stop blocking this page and let me use it with all security features enabled. So it sounds like a server discrepancy.
