Invalid security certificate on the forum
It appears FireFox 51 is more security-conscious that FireFox 50. I just tried to connect to https://forums.sjgames.com/ after upgrading the browser, and I got the following error message:

I'm connected now to http://forums.sjgames.com/ , not https://forums.sjgames.com/ ... but this is a security hole.

I'll escalate this to the appropriate people. Thanks for the report.

Chrome says something similar.

I expect all browsers would give a similar error - this is something that needs to be addressed at the server level. (It's a simple fix - SJGames just needs to throw a small amount of money at the problem, then spend a few minutes updating the security settings. Which security settings depends on where the money was thrown - and that's all anybody should say about this in a public forum.)

Re: Invalid security certificate on the forum
I know this is a low priority, but it's been over three months... and it's making me wonder how secure the W23 login is.

I'm personally not too worried since I'm pretty sure I've been using http://forums.sjgames.com/ since the forum opened back in 2004.

Re: Invalid security certificate on the forum
I didn't even know SJG had an https for the forums. I'm pretty disappointed by that - it should be served as the default and if it wasn't available at the beginning I really would have appreciated a notice when it was made available :P

Edit: oh wait, apparently the HTTPS version doesn't even contain the forum, instead redirecting to the HTTP version thereof. Last edited by vicky_molokh; 05-23-2017 at 05:25 AM. |

Being presented with a bad certificate says there's a security problem somewhere...
