+wood_jl Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 After all this time, why would Firefox start doing this? Yesterday, this came up on my screen ONE time. I reloaded the page and it disappeared. But today, I had to "add Atariage to exceptions" and "make it permanent." Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Firefox speaks the truth. I for instance, am a 12 year old girl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I had to update the site's SSL certificate yesterday. I was previously using a wildcard certificate, which covers all subdomains under AtariAge.com (*.atariage.com). This includes www.atariage.com as well as atariage.com. I was having a lot of trouble installing a new wildcard cert, so I bought a regular cert that only covers the main domain (atariage.com), not any subdomains. Unfortunately both the forum and the store were setup eons ago as "www.atariage.com/forums" and "www.atariage.com/store", so I had to change these to "atariage.com/forums" and "atariage.com/store" to work properly with the new SSL cert. If you have bookmarks to the secure versions of www.atariage.com/forums or wwww.atariage.com/store, you'll see the warning when you visit those pages. Normal SSL certs are generated for a very specific domain, in this case atariage.com. The warning is a result of visiting www.atariage.com instead of atariage.com, since the certificate then does not match the domain. The forum only uses SSL for the login page. The store uses it for the entire checkout process. I'll work on installing the wildcard certificate again later this week. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 if I type in www.atariage.com, it tries to become https://www.atariage.com instead of http://www.atariage.com, I'm using Firefox as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 You "trusted" this site prior to? Just a quick glance at who one of the moderators is would be enough for me to run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's strange, I just tried this on a fresh install of Firefox and don't see this behavior. Can you try clearing your browser's cache? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Doesn't do that on Firefox 16.0.2. I have never bookmarked it or trusted it on Firefox. May never have hit it from FF before... Doesn't do that on Chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Everyone thought Joe Cracker was kidding around with the Online Forum Police. Who's laughing now? I suggest Albert signs up to his forum and pay the $99 dollar levy. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3330085 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Same for me, just delete history. But anyway Albert said it will change the certificate in one week, so don't worry. Well, it should work fine now, except if you go to an SSL www.atariage.com page directly (say, from bookmarks). I'll work on the wildcard certificate today to see if I can get it installed again. I had to renew the certificate. I ended up buying a regular SSL cert for four years, so that may end up being a waste of money, unless I can reissue it for a different domain and use it on another site. ..al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Oh it's just the old SSL cert hassle. If you maintain sites you know it well.. As Al said.. the cert right now (until he fixes it) is for "atariage.com" only and not "www.atariage.com". So Firefox sees a mismatch and then throws up the warning. i.e. 1. if you go to https://www.atariage.com you'll see the warning. 2. If you go to https://atariage.com you won't see it. Just ignore it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 This should be fixed now. That was a bit of a pain. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) 1. if you go to https://www.atariage.com you'll see the warning. As of right now, it goes to the default webpage site: 2. If you go to https://atariage.com you won't see it. Obviously, this is working now. A couple hours (??) ago, it was working too. But when I tried to log in, it would crap out, I can't remember what it said (should have taken a more careful observation) but it was something like a 404 page can't be found - or something like that. I could view the messages as not logged in. Obviously, I can log in now, though! Edited March 29, 2013 by wood_jl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 If you're seeing the default page, please try clearing your browser cache. It was displaying this for a period of time while I was working on it. But I've fired up browsers on a few different machines and I'm not seeing anything strange. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Yes, clearing the cache did it! Thank you! The page says to clear the DNS cache, and although that's not my browser cache, I should have thought to try it upon reading that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
