Dear Mod's,
The damn secure connection box is very intrusive this morning. Worse, (if poss), than the Volvo ad'!
VBR........ M.

I'm getting it as well. It follows every single click of the mouse. Very annoying.

Anybody else got a problem with the topic pages not fully downloading. Progress bar sticks 50/60% complete and status message shows one item remaining. Happens both at home W98SE/IE6 and at work NT/IE5.5. If everbody's m/c is constantly paging HJ's server for the last bit capacity must be becoming an issue.
The secure connection message only occurs on the home system (so far!)
|
I get the secure message all the time as well as the hanging progess bar. I got so annoyed the the secure connection box I simply clicked "Do not show this again".
Problem Solved

I beleive that it is one of the adverts that\'s causing it. In which case....
www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?t=18421
\"The site is funded largely by advertising. This consists of both banner ads and pop-ups. These adverts are what pay for this site and pay for you to come here and chat with other backroomers.
If you have a problem with them, such as making your system crash, please don\'t moan in the forums. Instead, e-mail directly to Honest John at mailto:letters@honestjohn.co.uk and he\'ll refer your e-mail on to the media agency in the hope something can be done to fix the problem.\"

None of these problems at all (smug) using Moz Firefox.
|
Sorry Dave - I didn't mean to moan; just suggesting an easy quick fix.
|
No worries. I wasn't targeting anyone in particular.

Dave, IIRC HJ mentioned that this "Secure Connection" Ad wasn't booked by the agency and was a bit of a puzzler. I think he used the expression "hijacked". I recall last time it appeared we got the problem with the page never fully loading.
|
I'm quite prepared to put up with pop-ups and ads etc because they pay for the site but I also get the secure site flag and the "1 item remaining" and have done so for months - doesn't happen on any of the (limited number) of sites I visit
|
I may be entirely wrong ~ I'm barely semi-literate in computer matters ~ but I have a feeling that the Secure Connection box is the result of activities by a market research company called Doublequick monitoring the ads that you click on. I understand that in some quarters this is seen as a dubious practice.

Correction to my own post ~ it's DoubleClick, not Doublequick.
Try this. Delete their cookies, enter the Backroom, and then at the end of your session check your cookie files again. You'll find lots of DoubleClick cookies have returned. They also come as dclick.

Frostbite,
Firefox 0.9 was released just the other day, quite a few improvements to 0.8.

Ta muchly, John.
How did you know I was running 0.8?!
|
Hi Frostbite,
Just an educated guess really, you said you were using Firefox and as 0.9 was only released the other day... ;-)
John R
|
Frostbite,
Mozilla Firefox 9.1 is out today.
Note... It does suggest you install it into a new folder rather than over the top of an existing installation of Mozilla Firefox, this worked OK for me and did not lose bookmarks or other settings etc.

Recently every page I access on this site is temporary blocked by a window stating - "you are about to view pages over a secure connection etc etc ". Each time I change a page this keeps coming up.
Any ideas for getting rid?

we're slaving over a hot keyboard and remorselessly dedicating ourselves to fixing this; sparing no thoughts for our own lives or well-being, we are committed to sacrificing ourselves to fix this problem.
You are, aren't you Stephen ?
|
Well I'm sorry but that's just not good enough.

We are?
Oh yeah, sorry, of course we are.

I keep visiting this site just to see whether the problem has disappeared! Sad or what?

Yeah- very hot. Fingers hot too.
.. but this site is like a car with an intermitent electrical fault. Unless it goes wrong in the garage we don't know what to fix.
The other problem is that some parts are unserviceable by our garage - like popup ads.
