Hi,

Im trying to enter this comp

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=4137885

But when I click on the link I get a message on FB saying

This application does not yet support secure browsing (HTTPS).

I can learn more or go to App centre, but Im not very tech savvy and not sure what to do. Ive seen something similar in the past. Most times I can enter without a problem. Is anyone cleverer than me and able to point me in the right direction as to how to correct this.

Thanks

    I tried your link and got the same. What I tend to do with these type of warnings is to wait until someone more experienced comments as to whether they think it's safe to continue or not :)

    To avoid getting this message, you can go into Account Settings > Security > click the "Edit" button beside "Secure Browsing" and untick "Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possible" then press "save changes".

    Whether you should or not is another matter. I've entered Northcore competitions before, and I think their page just isn't set up right, and it should be safe to enter them, but it's up to you. I always turn secure browsing back on afterwards, and don't use this method for facebook comps that look a bit "dodgy".
