Security issues on the cinema threads

Silk

For the last couple of days I've been getting the pop up saying content blocked due to security certificates.
Only seems to happen on the Cinema freebies thread and the Theatre and Concert chat thread.

It happens on my PC and tablet plus my phone, even over the network and wifi.

Anyone else with the problem and why is it happening ?
Is it due to content on both those threads at the moment ????

Have you a link to a specific page/post on a thread where it is happening?

What usually happens is that there is a secure (https://) link on a page.

Some browsers and secity software check out links on any page you have loaded to see if security certificates are valid. And they sometime do this without you even haveing to click on the link, as they are just checking in advance for security what you "might" click on.

Now I notice this link on the cinima thread that gives me a warning in Firefox?

That link won't open for me it's blocked by the warning :rotfl:

Well, that seems to confirm THAT is at least one link in that page that is giving you trouble.

I've tried a few browsers and Firefox warns me. Opera/chrome does not.

Thing is to make sure that your browser, computer/security software are all up to date with latest versions. THEN if you still get the warning then you can be fairly sure it is the link/websites fault and not anything else.

Yep all are up to date ...probably why the problem is due to being too secure

Assumed it wasn't my imagination due to it happening on the PC and Tablet as well as the phone even over mobile network as well as wifi.

Will assume it will be solved when the offending content of the threads expire and get removed.

Thanks for confirming :T
