Rich Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 for the first time I went to log in and the details were missing, I scrolled over the top and my username appeared and a message "this log in is not secure-Learn More". I did update the firefox browser yesterday, would this have caused this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 So just now I go to log in again as it's the same deal as yesterday and I tick the 'remember me' box thinking it will be like before the update and now I notice this I click on learn more and it suggests contacting the web administrator asking them to make the connection secure......wasn't like this before the update, are they connected?

Administrators Arcade King Posted September 21, 2017 Administrators Share Posted September 21, 2017 Ignore the warning mate. Companies like Google have been pushing SSL/HTTPS encryption down our throats for the last few years and is only really relevant for sites that store sensitive information like credit card details etc. I've spoken to the server OP and we will eventually incorporate it on AA but its not high priority.

Rob1966 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Probably just your virus protection after the update being overly protective being that it's a forum Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Arcade King Posted September 21, 2017 Administrators Share Posted September 21, 2017 No he's just clicked on the little icon next to the address bar in firefox which tells you if a site is SSL secure or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyj965 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 It's not just about protecting financial or personal information. It can also prevent man in the middle attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Oh yay, just got to log in after almost 24 hours, regardless of chrome or firefox it warns me that the connection is not secure, would have thought this would be a high priority regardless of whether or not information is 'considered sensitive' by administration. - - - Updated - - - even going in to change my temporary password I was given yesterday it warns me that it's not secure, not happy about this.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]116687[/ATTACH] Unfortunately mate you're making a mountain out of a molehill due to your lack of understanding on the issue. This site has been running fine since 2005 that's 12 years with no security issues other than flaws in Vbullitin itself which has been patched many times. The fact is the problem as to why you couldn't log in was on your end not the site itself furthermore passwords are encrypted so not even I know what it is. I've already put in a request with the server OP to get a SSL certificate installed on the server and until he does it it's out of my hands.

Rich Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Not making a mountain out of a molehill at all, that is purely your perception from my replies. I needed help and believed I followed protocol. I have never criticised nor complained/stated that AA has any flaws at all. There was no doubt yesterday that I had issues logging in and after waiting the allotted 15 minutes, one attempt later I had to wait another 15 minutes, which repeated over and over, it was frustrating but no big deal. Guessing you got your nose out of joint because I stated I wasn't happy, well I'm not, just me being honest. I would rather know the connection was secure, just my preference, nothing more.

No I'm only getting my nose out of joint because I explained the situation in email yesterday while I was trying to help you and here but you still persist in blowing things out of proportion. I've already said AA will have the certificate as soon as the server OP gets to it, you are not in any danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
