"Invalid security certificate" on clicking a DC link in Google results

[nosh]

Just a heads-up.

I sometimes get this warning on clicking a DC forum link in Google's search results using Firefox.


Google URL when this happened today.

If this isn't isolated and happens to others it might be pretty off-putting to someone who hasn't heard of the site.

I've chosen to "add an exception" on prior occasions but I noticed today that the exception url that pops up is very thread+message specific, so it doesn't really help in the future.

we need to worry about this -- i think it means google is indexing https:// versions of pages not http:// version of pages..

nosh, can you tell us the exact url that google was pointing to on our site?

I looked at the results that nosh pointed at and noticed the following:

  https://www.donation...?topic=8636.msg71818

Does that help at all?

[nosh]

That's the one.

Yep.. now we have to figure out why its indexing that page as a https

You could add a noindex tag to the https pages, I'd imagine you can do that in the template somewhere.

if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']))
    echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />';
