Weirdness and loss of visited links....

Posted by Rod M (W) on March 21, 2017 at 16:01:22

Sorry folks, it's called progress.

Some of you may have noticed 'Not Secure' messages recently in your browsers. In their infinite wisdom, the browser cabal decided that all web sites must use secure server certificates in order to protect the guilty.

We've always done this for contributions or anywhere you might use a credit card. Since we don't keep any credit card info and most people login once and hardly ever again, we didn't worry about it for posting pages. However, recently, Google, to name one, updated their browser to show a 'Not Secure' warning if there's even a form on the page and particularly if there is a password or credit card input box.

Therefore, we had to fund the coffers of the secure certificate vendors and buy a couple new ssl passes. We've put those on the primary and the cgi servers. We still have more that we need to buy which will happen over time. Unfortunately, this side lined our responsive project to fully support phones and tablets and required more work than anticipated.

In the transition today, you may have seen screwed up pages. The problem is secure versus not secure connections which won't allow some Javascript, css and other tools to load. I believe we've gotten all of those issues resolved. If not, send me the url of the page that either looks strange or doesn't work properly and we'll get it fixed.

And lastly, if you use the Classic view, all of your visited links got hosed. I'm sorry. There's nothing we can do about it. Browsers see https://www.audioasylum.com as being a totally different domain than http://www.audioasylum.com.

Thanks for the support and let me know if you run into any issues.
