Security certificate errors

cornetto · Feb 8, 2012

I keep getting a pop up alert telling me that IE has "blocked this website from displaying content with security certificate errors". It shows up every time I click and it's driving me crazy.

This just started when I came back about an hour ago ad it's only on this site.

How do I make it go away?

Yeah, it just started doing that for me, too. I trust AW, so I clicked on it and clicked on the option to display anyway.

Same here. I've logged out, emptied my browser history, removed cookies, done a Superantispyware scan, and it does the same thing even when I come back as a guest through Google rather than my bookmark/favourite. I'm on IE but planning to download Chrome later tonight.

We'll take a look, guys -- rest assured it's not actually a security risk, in terms of browsing or posting, okay?

It's possibly an artifact from the old days, when the site was actually more of a commerce site, with a shopping cart and such. For whatever reason, it sounds like IE has just started objecting to the lack of a recognizeable cert, or the location, or the format, or heaven only knows quite what. IE very much has its own strange parameters and expectation.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks guys

Yeah, IE definitely has it's quirks.

Many thanks, Oh Great Leader. I figured it was just IE messing around again when the usual fixes didn't work. Time to get off my lazy butt and get a decent browser downloaded.
