🔈 Site announcement: Things that we think you should know

@Fatso

Oh…I thought you’d already had “the chat”.

Apologies, now I see why people got upset by me posting on this thread.

We agreed that you’d wait until I’d had “the chat”. Now I’ve got to work with him on solving this problem - do you know how awkward that will be.

Don’t forward this Personal Message to anyone else.

Hi Bob, hope all’s well. Ignore Fatso’s joshing - he’s nothing, you’re still the man.

Honest.

Now, have you got a context for the message you’re seeing?

Yeah, that popped up on my Chrome browser on my work laptop, however it’s not showing on my home PC!! My home PC says the site is secure…

[Polski_Filip]

Secure?
This place is full of the most insecure people to have ever left/lived in Southern England!

It’s worse than I thought, @Fatso.

@BTripz’s so insecure (see what I did there @Polski_Filip?) about his position, that he’s making up faults with the site.

Next, he’ll be telling me that there’s a but with Twitter media handling.

Again, don’t forward this Personal message to anyone else.

That’s odd, Bob.

HTTPS certificate is valid according to Firefox and Chrome.

Something at the Uni? VPN?

[saintbletch]

Just had a thought that it might be related to (Amazon S3) where we store the images after they’ve been uploaded. I’ll have a poke around.

I was thinking of taking a look at Amazon S4. Will report back findings later.

My Firefox brizer informs me that parts of this site, such as images, are not secure. The padlock symbol in the URL field has a yellow triangle with a white exclamation mark on it, whereas for a proper non-secure site you’d see a red background.

So, I’d agree with you that the site certificate is fine, but certain locations that are used aren’t. Chances are they’re plain old http and not https sites.

[saintbletch]

As you say, I THINK it is to do with mixed content (HTTP and HTTPS) being served in the same web page. The odd thing is that nothing we do should be serving HTTPS.

However, I’m thinking that if an old image was directly linked (not uploaded) via a HTTP link, it might be that. If anyone can reliably reproduce it on a given page/portion of a page then let me know.

[saintbletch]

Testing.

[Fatso]

I was going to say that

@BTripz, can you load this page at the post I’ve just replied to - silhouette with question mark.

Then do a CTRL + F5 or equivalent.

I’m betting you see Not secure in Chrome.

Then go to the first post in this thread and again do CTRL + F5.

I’m hoping you’ll see that the page is now secure - just a padlock in Chrome.

Let me know.

[BTripz]

This is on my phone on the Sotonians front page

[saintbletch]

How are you going with Amazon S4, Deputy?

[saintbletch]

This what I’m seeing…

@BTripz, can you try this when you get a mo?

[BTripz]

Aye, it’s secure until I scroll past your image then it changes to insecure and stays that way…
