a few technical questions

spat

does anyone else get a security message when they come on asking if the page should display the nonsecure items? that never happened with the old board, and also how do i fix it so i get emailed when someone replies to a post? these might just be a few wrinkles still with the new site but if anyone knows how to fix either one thatd be great!

I would like to know that answer to this as well. It happens with Internet Explorer. I am sure I could make it go away by lowering my security options via Internet Options, but I shouldn't have to do that.

Based on what I can see, the security message has to do with some of the image files on the website and message board (for example all of the latest photos on the main website home page).

I get that too when i'm using Internet Explorer (7.0.5730.13).



But when i'm using Mozilla Firefox (v3.0.5) .. I don't see that screen & thing's run smoothly!

What a frustrating problem. Thankfully I primarily use Firefox, so this isn't an issue for me. But, I thought I would take a look at it in IE, and yeah, quite frustrating. Especially since the instructions on how to fix the problem from IE doesn't seem to change anything for me. You try it and see if you came make it not do that:

What does it mean when I have both secure and non-secure (mixed) content?
Secure and non-secure content, or mixed content, means that a webpage is trying to display elements using both secure (HTTPS/SSL) and non-secure (HTTP) web server connections. This often happens with online stores or financial sites that display images, banners, or scripts that are coming from a server that is not secured.

The risk of displaying mixed content is that a non-secure webpage or script might be able to access information from the secure content.

Note
Internet Explorer uses an encrypted protocol called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to access secure webpages. These pages use the prefix HTTPS, while regular webpages use HTTP.

I'm having trouble using some websites that include mixed content, what do I do?
If you are having trouble using sites that include mixed content, you might want to temporarily have Internet Explorer allow all mixed content. To do this, follow these steps:

To allow mixed content
Click to open Internet Explorer.

Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.

Click the Security tab, and then click the Custom Level button.

In the Security Settings dialog box, scroll to the Display mixed content setting in the Miscellaneous section, and then click Enable.

Click OK in the Security Settings dialog box, and then click OK to exit Internet Options.

Note
After allowing mixed content, you will see webpages with both HTTPS and non-HTTPS content but Internet Explorer will not show the lock icon.

For IE, I just tried it out, and it works for www.pearljam.com & the Community Forum!
Don't forget to apply changes.
