Logging in this morning... security warning

[MattTuck]

This is what it looks like on my end, just in case someone is trying to chase this down.

This has happened at my work computer with Cyclingtips. Story/article titles appear in a list format, but won't open. I'm not a software/internet guy so don't really know what's changing but something must be. Security related maybe?

Yes, there has been a change with the browsers and everything is going to secure sites...https instead of http. I have looked into this a little bit, but this isn't a trivial change to switch over to this format. Not sure exactly what our course of action will be, but obviously this is something we will have to resolve.

BTW, if anyone knows how to work around this temporarily, please let us know.

Well, of course. If you are hooked to the WWW, you are not 'private'. To be 'private', go off the grid. No phone, no credit card use, no computer to web, nuthin'.

Sorry for the inconvienience, yes I'm actively working on this issue and hope to resolve this as soon as possible.

Can someone that is having the problem of not being able to view the threads try a different web-browser and let me know if this makes any difference.

Keith,

For me it is my companies firewall that doesn't like the contents of threads. I can see the thread categories and the thread headers after choosing new posts. But I click on a header and it is blocked. Same version of firefox in working (home) and non-working (behind firewall) cases. I tried chrome from home and that works fine...

I tried it with Chrome and Firefox and same results

[Keith A]

Thanks for the input. I'll get this solved...hopefully soon.

On my personal computer (iMac OSX Yosemite 10.10.5) using Chrome or Safari I haven't experienced any problems or noticed any changes.

IT is actually an update to Firefox. It's part of an industry wide move to move from HTTP to more secure HTTPS.
