Hello Konrad. It looks like your college has a web content filter that is blocking the website. You should just email their help desk like it says and then they can add it to the whitelist which will keep it from being blocked. It is probably doing it because it has the keyword "game" in it.

Ah right, so the word 'game' is in the heading, which the browser regognise as its in a blog , i mean like aside, article etc.. browser recognise that, so its the same way with filters? even if the post can be about food, but it has e.g Cooking is like a Game, it would be blocked because of 'game' ? usually they don't do anything with it , at least at school. They told me they cant do anything because its national i mean in the UK .

It depends on how aggressive the filter is set up. Treehouse is educational so they shouldn't be blocking it, and hopefully they will unblock it with an email explaining that to them.

Hi Konrad, I would do as the message suggests and email ITHelpdesk@slcollege.ac.uk explaining what Treehouse is and asking them to unblock it.

Thank you all! I'll may send them an email and see what they say.
