Forum issues

[Marc411]

Occasionally I get this error when using new posts, I refresh the page and the page loads fine. My setting are correct based on the error message and I haven't changed anything on my PC since the new site went up.

It's not really an issue just more of a pain.

I get that quite frequently, I thought it was just me.

Best option there is to stop using Internet Exploder.

Perhaps for other reasons.... but the page can't be displayed error happens in Chrome also, although not as much as when the new forum was first deployed... the issue is a forum caused problem seen after making a new post and sometimes after editing one.

Besides - IE and Chrome, it also happens when using a Android Tablet with the generic browser too . . . Also, now this not not happen all the time, however when "clicking" on "like" another window will appear asking if you are sure you want to like the post . . .

If the browser has the option, ensure SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 is also checked in the browser's advanced settings.

retired1, thank you for the suggestions but that was tried prior to posting here. I do receive the same error across multiple browsers. I frequent several forums and own one myself and this is the only forum where I receive this message.

I can live with it but it is a pain and there is a problem with the site.

It's most likely a Cloudflare issue which may be beyond our control. I'll have the server guys take a peek at it in the morning.

Have NEVER seen it with Firefox 39.0.

Just this morning, I've started getting this message every time I load a page on ECF: "Firefox has prevented the unsafe plugin 'Adobe Flash' from running on E-Cigarette Forum" I don't get it on other sites - just here.

Adobe flash has left a security opening and FF and Chrome are pretty much kicking Adobe to the curb until, at least, they fix the issues. Mozilla blocks Flash by default on Firefox browser - BBC News

Not sure how to work around it or what you need to do

Try running this and then update whatever it flags:

Keep your Firefox healthy with a quick checkup — Mozilla

I started seeing that Flash thing yesterday too; I just told it to go ahead and load Flash; you can't watch videos or see the live weather map on weatherchannel.com without it!

Thanks, Robino, I didn't hear about that. My browser is giving me the option of either continuing to block or to allow. I haven't done either yet because I wanted to find out first what was going on.

That's strange, Andria, because I've been watching and listening to YouTube videos this morning and it isn't affecting them.

 

[retired1]

There is no fix for the Flash issue as yet. The vulnerability that has caused Mozilla to block flash was a previously unknown issue which is already being exploited in the wild.

It's recommended that you leave it disabled. (Yes, it's that serious of an issue.)

This worked for me....

 

[retired1]

Even if it's up to date, it will still remain disabled in the browser if you've updated the browser since Monday night.

ALL versions of Flash Player, including the most recent, are vulnerable.

 

[mikepetro]

Hmmm, maybe I need to update FF then, running a beta.
