Does https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum.php bring up a security certificate warning for you?
Nope, it just loads for me.
No problem for me either, Zap.
Thanks, I seem to have entered the twilight zone. Anything vBulletin related, including my own vBulletin installations, are issuing security warnings for no apparent reason.
[EDIT] And it only happens on my main PC ???
works ok here Zap
OK, I have established that I have a problem on my PC. If I try to connect to https://www.idnet.net/ I get an Untrusted Connection Warning...
QuoteThis Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to www.idnet.net, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
I've cleared my history and cache and tried three different browsers. I'm about to run a virus check.
Could it be a security certificate problem, Zap?
Yup! Problem solved and I've discovered something I didn't know. Are you sitting comfortably?
My PC was state of the art. So state of the art that the RAM I bought over three years ago was immediately withdrawn because it was too fast for the next generation of architecture that was just around the corner. As a result I was running on 2GB, couldn't get any more to match it and couldn't replace it because later RAM required more voltage.
I found out recently that my mobo manufacturer had an updated BIOS that allowed it to boot with default settings that supplied a higher voltage to the RAM sockets. Problem solved. I updated the BIOS, replaced the RAM and after a fair bit of coaxing, managed to get it all working.
What I hadn't noticed and completely forgot about was the system clock had reset and has been running at the wrong date. What I didn't know is that effectively stops you from using the Internet. Lesson learned!
Fine here zap using ff 4.0.1 ops just read you post, glad its sorted :thumb:
System dates can play havoc with security certificates, Zap, as you've just found out. Glad it's sorted. :)
