Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Gadgets & Tech Insecure sites.

Im finding that some of the forums I use , are now showing as insecure (the crossed out padlock) . MOneysavingexpert and Hotmail for starters. Ive tried putting Https:// in front, but that doesnt work . Can someone please try Moneysavingexpert to see if it shows a yellow padlock for them -(test the register and log on pages) , and if it does, any suggestions as to why Im getting these insecure forums please?

All ok on google chrome what browser you using ? Are you using internet explorer ?

Thank you for looking karlb .No Im using Firefox anyone else using Firefox finding moneysavingexpert unsafe site?

I am on Firefox and all Money saving Expert has the padlock.

I get similar messages for sites that were secure previously like ebay, bbc, bank, facebook I do use IE. Seems to be ok now. Think it may be more to do with security settings not being remembered or ISP ...in my case talk talk

Thanks Salmon, its definitely my pc then . Fish, is that me not remembering to set something , or my pc not picking something up it should ?Anyone know whats wrong?

Current versions of firefox are 56.02, just check its updating, the security certificates come with the updates and do run out.

No, thats the version Ive got thanks . Anything else it could be?

Have just seen now that wiki via Firefox is showing unsafe too! It wasnt when I wrote my first post and Hotmail is now showing safe! A further check on Chrome and wiki also showing unsafe via that too! Havent a clue whats going on!

In firefox, close down every window and tab, go to "history" - "clear recent history", tick all the boxes, change "time range to clear" to "everything" then hit "clear now". exit firefox then restart it.

If that doesn't work there are two more things to try.

Yes getting the same on wiki from mixed content http requests on a https site from http://img1.jurko.net probably ads

karl , mine on wiki is even the login , I signed out and in again to test. DD thanks Ill look at doing that .Whats 'site preferences' do - Ive not ticked that one before since I didnt know.

You can set up, different settings for different sites, most people never use it, its things like cookie control and trust levels, I use it very occasionally but resetting them is generally a good thing.

It's gone for me now all secure so i think it was a poorly coded ad

That worked for Wiki DD thanks, its just gone secure , but moneysaving expert is still insecure . Weird
