Modelcarsmag "unsafe"?

[BlackSheep214]

Last night, I wanted to visit this site on my iPad and I got a notice it was "redflagged" as unsafe because the potential to steal my financial and identity. Did anyone get that notice? I'm using my phone and didn't have an issue. Didn't try my iPad again yet but will try again tonight. I know I didn't get redflagged on my PC.

I believe you get that flag because this site doesn't use "HTTPS", but rather only "HTTP".

Well BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH... I didn't notice if it was http, not https

Of course it's unsafe here!

Have you seen the reactions when someone posts that they plan to build and modify a vintage kit? Or that someone has acquired a kit collection and isn't going to sell it online?

Danger Zone!

There is another post in how to  use the board. Dave is aware of the problem and fixing it.

We have a set of certificates to ensure that we are who we say we are. One of these got messed up in the renewal process. This is turning into a royal pain in the brain. 

[JollySipper]

Could this be one of the reasons that selling isn't allowed here?

Ok. Not sure what this photo really is. However. This reminds me of a movie I saw long ago. But it was an eye doctor.  The movie STARTED with this scene - eventually the eye doctor poured acid in the patients eyes. I turned it off right away. And think of this every time I go to the opthalmologist.  
 

no it is not safe!

That's a pic of Laurence Olivier in 'Marathon Man'... 

Speaking of eye doctors, I've been to my optometrist and an ophthalmologist too often this summer... so many drops and tests, tiring...

It's from an old Dustin Hoffman thriller, Marathon Man.

We have two intersecting problems. One was on the server and was actually fixed a few days ago. The other is with Chrome browser. It's caching something it shouldn't. In our case, a very old encryption certificate. I haven't figured out a solution for this yet. So far, none of the published methods work in the current version of Windows. 

[Dave Ambrose]

Turns out the server problem wasn't entirely fixed. We have it fixed now. Please let me know if you have any problems accessing the forums.

Thank you. I was able to visit this site and the forums on my iPad tonight.
