Forum Upgraded August 30, 2015 - Report issues here

<< < (4/81) > >>

Ath:
Now switched to Windows, and Firefox on Windows only started behaving somewhat decent after disabling Avast WebShield HTTPS scanning, as it inserts a fake root certificate, probably unacceptable to Mozilla.

The Donationcoder.com StartCom SSL certificate does support both SHA256 and SHA1 encryption, and SHA1 (with expiration after January 1st 2016) is declared unsafe by Google (first) and Mozilla (hours later), even though it should be accepted with expiration date until January 1st 2017 :'( (See SHA1 Deprecation)

Ath:
is https access of the forum working now?

It does seem to work a lot better now! I'll keep testing for a short while...

Edit: HTTPS does seem to work OK now, tested on Windows (FireFox and Edge), Android Phone (FireFox) (tablet is on the charger, I'll test that later), and iPhone (iOS8 Safari).

IainB:
All seems fine using Firefox 41.0b5.
https is good too (and when using https everywhere Add-on).
So far, it looks like an uneventful changeover. Nice work.    :Thmbsup:

Just tested on the tablet with Firefox on Android and all is fine there too, now that https is set up correctly :up:

Ath:
Another funny fact:
The recent list shows the original title of the thread, instead of the title (subject) of the last post of the thread (testing this now by inserting 'your' in the subject)
<snipped>
Advantage to me is that https refreshes the page when backing out a thread to the Recent list :-[ Very useful when on a tablet.

Additional advantage of showing the actual title of the last post is/was that most browsers display the link as 'visited', in a somewhat different color, after it's read, so any new messages can be easily recognized when refreshing the browser after returning to the page after some time (from other work). So yes, this is a feature I'd like to return :up:
