Done, darlin

Regarding http and https. This isn't a forum issue per se, but more of how browsers treat secure and insecure links. If you're signed in on a secure link, and click an insecure link going to the same site, the browser treats it as a "new" site and doesn't know enough to keep you logged in.

but how does an unsecured link happen?

[tiburonfirst]

does it depend on your browser?

my copy and paste above worked - the copied link stayed secure for me? i thought anybody signed in was on https?

 

[Robino1]

If they have the link bookmarked from before the change to the new software, it will be under the old unsecured links. I've had to remove all the old links, I had bookmarked, and replace with the new site's links.

Hope that helps.

 

[tiburonfirst]

thanks, robino! but i'm still puzzled

that was a new thread dc2 started just recently ................ unless it's an old bookmark for that particular forum?

 

[Robino1]

Not sure why then. I know he has a lot of stuff bookmarked, he has to because he is too damn quick dropping links into posts.

 

[Katya]

Yeah, it was a link to a brand new thread he just created.

 

[tiburonfirst]

but he might have gotten to that forum by an old book-marked link

i don't have anything book-marked, especially not from way back when, if i did i'd test it

Has something happened to being able to drag and drop an image into a post? Haven't been able to do that lately.

 

[retired1]

What browser?

 

[oplholik]

Ahh, the new one with W10. Edge I think or something like that.

 

[retired1]

Known issue. Not much we can do about it. It's an issue with the browser, so unless Microsoft does something to change things, it will probably remain "broken".

 

[oplholik]

Ok. I found an option to "Open with IE", so changed over, and that works. So we are good.

Two errors are popping up lately. One is a cloudflare error, which I will address later.

This is one of the two that is persistent.

I'm using Chrome.
I've done the usual drill of clearing cache and cookies.
I've also restarted Chrome, and rebooted my system.
I have disabled all extensions and plugins.

This error appears to be exclusive to Chrome. When I get the error, and open the same URL in Firefox, no problem.


Anyone? Any thoughts?

In your browser url, type: chrome://net-internals/#spdy

At the top, to the far right, click the menu button (little arrow) and select Flush sockets

Refresh the error page and it should be good.

 

[Katdarling]

Thank you. I just now had the opportunity to try this fix.

 

[damselle]

I'm still a miserable user. Any fixes for me?

 

[Katdarling]

Thank you. I just now had the opportunity to try this fix.

And I wondered when I took this action if this was a permanent fix..... that answer just now came about. It is not. I just had the issue again, and had to do the flushing of the sockets once more.
