    Yep I can only get in by clearing site data and adding a security exception. If this isn't fixed the forums will be dead for all but a few who can figure it out (although at least one spammer had no problem with it).

    Nox Security

    "Nox Security" is a Play Store app and has nothing to do with Samsung Knox, which as said is only a preinstalled app on Samsung devices.

    Online Police/Fire Radio Scanner

    I've had Scanner Radio on my phones for years, haven't used it much lately. As a long-time ham operator and general radio guy I've always had plenty of scanners and other radios around, I have a Radio Shack Pro2004 which was one of the best analog scanners ever made.
