Certificate errors? NOT SOLVED

[gerrym51]

you probably have picked up an extension along the way. go to IE options and set internet explorer back to factory settings(settings when you first got computer or when you first upgraded to IE9). i bet that will solve it.


also you can adjust your security settings. check that out also under options

[jriddering]

Try using any browser but IE. At work, there are a number of things that don't work on IE.

OK, there is a difference between a "security certificate" and a "security token" when it comes to errors on the web site.

I get the "security token missing" error if I try to upload images larger than the maximum or create text larger than the maximum for a post.

Could this be what you are seeing?

Lee, you might try the following and see if it helps:

IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced Tab - click Restore then click Reset - Apply / OK

IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security Tab - click reset all zones to default - Apply / OK

Close and restart IE

Lou – I don’t think so. The message which pops up is "Internet Explorer blocked this website from displaying content with certificate errors" so I assume it is a certificate error, not a token, but I am certainly no IT professional.

gerrym51 and awwall – Thank you for your suggestions. I have not yet tried "resetting" IE to factory settings yet, as I am weighing the alternative. I may eventually get there, but not yet. IE says I should only "reset" if my browser is in an unstable state, which it is not. I think that, should I "reset" the settings, it will clear a bunch of saved info which I’d rather not lose. For example, I am a little reluctant to loose all my book-marked pages, etc. I may just need to just live with the inconvenience of having to click the warning message to get rid of it on every FRF page (again, I am literally experiencing no similar troubles with any other site that I have noticed).

I was actually hoping the Help Desk would come up with something, but the only response I got from them was a Tuesday e-mail indicating they were working on this issue (but strangely showing the status of the ticket as "Closed").

[Herk7769]

Vern, you are absolutely correct; your error is a certificate error.

I think the a reset will not clear your bookmarks; just remove all add-ins including installed tool bars and reset your security settings.

It MIGHT also clear your history, temp files, and saved passwords but I do not think so.

Good luck.

I have had this same problem for awhile with this site, and a couple others I visit. I have done lots of research on the problem, and was unable to fix it on this site. We will have to keep an eye out for a fix.

I'm sure I don't know how to fix it in MS IE but I use FireFox and like it just
fine. It's a free download. Once you've got it running, add the add blocker
plus and enjoy! Mozilla Firefox Web Browser

[gerrym51]

resetting IE does NOT cause you to lose bookmarks. I did it myself once when youtube stopped playing for me.

you do not lose bookmarks

[Vern]

I went ahead and reset IE, but it made no difference in my case, as I still have the certificate error notice. I'm going to just learn to live with it until enough others complain to the Help Desk that they figure out what is on FRF which is causing this with IE. It really isn't that big of a deal, although I think I might change my Home Page to something else so I don't have to see it every time I open my browser.

[KyDan]

I don't get certificate errors with MSIE 9 either.
I don't use Norton tho.... I use Avira anti virus.

Suggest turning your security setting down one notch.

[gerrym51]

Lee,

even though i use chrome now i used IE9 to access forest river forums and i am not getting the message you described. the only other thing i can think of is to adjust the security settings

[Tech Admin]

Are you going to:

https://www.forestriverforums.com

or

http://www.forestriverforums.com

You should be going to the latter.

[Vern]

I am using the latter, as you suggest

Vern - we're still scratching our heads on this... thanks for hanging in there.

X-2 don't get any error messages on this sits. Firefox runs great and is one of the more secure browsers.

I use Google, and when I open anything Google tels me that I am using a IE that is no longer supported and wants me to use Chrome. I close that out and check for windows update and nothing shows up. IE still works fine.

Well, Janet, here's the latest update. Just got to my PC and signed on this morning for the first time since early yesterday afternoon. The certificate error message has now disappeared (as mysteriously as it came). To doublecheck, I fired up IE a couple of times and clicked on a few links and it appears to be resolved. I don't know why, but it is good to see the FRF looking "right" to me again. Maybe there was something on the forum (a certificate signature or something) which was somehow off and the Help Desk or somebody fixed it. I don't know and don't care really, but I thank you and everyone for trying to help me with this these past few days. As always, this is a great online community of which I'm very happy to be a part.

Now that the problem seems to have solved itself, I remember having this problem with some third party ads that were shown on another forum. When the "problem advertiser" updated their security certificate, the messages stopped.

I think the "solution" prize goes here.
