Yeah, google chrome seems to be doing that. Use IE for now, it doesn't happen on IE.
EDIT: It looks somthing like this, right?

But if I go to the site, it's happy.

Use FireFox or IE or Safari, it should work fine.

Yeah. One solution would be to disable [img] tags temporarily until the block library can update their images, then re-enable them afterward.

It looks like there's malware on mine...

That's why I said it does look like it.

Oops. I misread. 

It's not the ST's fault if anyone complains (quoting someone now):

It's just Google Chrome being extra-safe. There's no malware on the block libary thread being hosted AT ALL, so you don't need to worry.

I don't get that warning. I only got it once, it was because of one guys signature in a thread. I clicked proceed anyway and now it doesn't show anymore.

...probably because you clicked proceed anyway 

Yeah, but my point us that it hadn't come back. It just keeps ignoring the site. Its a way to fix it, so chrome will not display it anymore.

IT'S NOT A BUG. YOU CAN'T "FIX" IT. IT'S A WARNING.

Right. This does not need to be fixed. In fact, to help prevent your computer from being compromised, I'd prefer you don't proceed.

Actually, you can't be sure of that.
Any request you send to a site allows the server to execute whatever kind of code it wants, and (I'm not an expert in malware here, but) possibly even execute something on your computer.

No, it can only execute code on the servers. On the client side, the only thing you can execute is (harmless!) JavaScript.

Unless it downloads something automatically (which is possible), in which case you will need to delete the downloaded file. But just viewing an image cannot do that, since when you view an image, all that happens is that you send a request to the website, and the website generates/retrieves the image and sends it back. 

File Fuzzing?
