Title: Signature CausingThreads To Go To A Unsecured Connection (I Solved)
Post by: oldgamerz on August 22, 2020, 12:52:55 pm

I found out the issue :)

(edit) the reason why some thread pages are marked as Unsecured by some browsers. Might be because of some of our signatures, I noticed right away that as soon as I added my own collection banner link to my collection below. That every single thread I posted in was unsecured according to my browser.

It was because of the following, I did an experiment on this thread and with adding an S on the end of the http URL, when adding the banner link into my signature. my browser now then says the this thread and every thread I posted in is ok and secure. Some people are causing some of our forum pages to not be fully secured.

I've reported this before but I have to but in and know why this is happening to other peoples accounts every time they make a post, This happen just recently to my signature ever since I've added my collection banner. today

According to admin @tripredacus told me that someone else's signature was also causing this  and now mine was as well, because everywhere I posted had an unsecured connection.

What I could not figure out. Is first off why is my own signature might be causing the same result? when I know for a fact I have no code at all in my signature that would contribute towards this.

I use Google chrome, and I don't know why this is happening.

this is all the text included in my signature

Code: [Select]

might be causing an error. I't not a good thing to have holes in security, with all the problems servers have these days it's good to keep them running smoothly as possible :-\
