Bad certificate for website?

[stratman]

Sometimes a page can show "not secure" if someone has inserted an image or smiley from a non https site.

There are no images on Page 2 and the only emoticons I see are from the forum software.

Why does the software use functions that are not secure?

On the bright side, the forum's use of HTTPS will help deter the WiFi KRACK hack.

(opps, I just introduced an unsecure object!)

Can you help me by the following:

1) Post a screenshot of what you're seeing (with regard to security issues)
2) The exact steps to reproduce the problem

I'm browsing the pages in firefox and Chrome and don't see any security issues.

Also, what's the URL for the post "It doesn't Rain but it Pours"?

I think we have described the issues, or some of them, in this thread. My contributions are posts #8, #12 and #16 in particular.

One addition I can make is that this thread does NOT have a security issue as of my writing this -- note the "Green Lock" in my Firefox browser page, including after I uploaded the JPG image of the Green Lock. Same goes for pages 1 and 2.

Here you go, Nifty.

Yay! The timer just went off for the brownies in the oven. Gotta go.

Fixed! As I suspected one of the images (in this case a smiley that The Hat had used) was not https:



I removed that smiley and the page is now "secure"

Any other example pages, please direct me to them and I'll take a look.

Great detective job!

I wonder if any of the other emoticons are not secure?

I still get an unsecure web page Grey Lock with the Yellow Triangle when I click open the emoticon menu. Or is it the emoticon menu "applet" itself that is not secure (while the emoticons themselves may be secure after inserted in the post)?

Is the emoticon menu an add-on feature to the website software or is it baked in whether you want it or not?

Ok, I think I figured it out! That one since smiley was coded with the absolute URL that didn't have https. It should be fixed now. Can you double-check?

Excellent work, Rob! I tried all the emoticons and the Green Lock stays green throughout. Thank you for your diligence.

From now on it'll just be me and my smiling mug.
