Title: Web site not secure
Post by: pavan on January 11, 2019, 08:03:25 PM
My Firefox browser won't let me sign in, giving me a non-secure warning.  Maybe nothing, but what is not secure?

Click on the message and see if it gives you the option to look at the authentication for the site.  If so try to authenticate if it won't it should give you the option to view anyways.

Firefox is the only browser I use....(pc and mobile) since forever.  Never had a hiccup here at Trad Gang or anywhere else for that matter.

also, when you look at our URL address you'll see it begins with "https" - the "s" is for a secure server.

images and links that are not hosted by trad gang might not show as secure if they emanate from an "http" server.

I was guessing that it was just an old glitch in my browser, it does not show that on safari, just didn't know for sure.

I use Firefox and Firefox Focus on my iPhone and have not had a problem. However, I did have a problem a couple years ago, but can't remember what Rob said to do :knothead: :biglaugh: I think there was a setting in Firefox that needed changing, but it happened on the old TG site, not the new. Look for an update to your browser, and check their settings.  Also, look for an icon in Firefox that indicates it is blocking, and click "Always Allow" if it is present.
