That should not be happening. I'd like to troubleshoot it if you don't mind helping.

What browser are you using?
I'm using IE8 here at work. Message reads:
Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?
This webpage contains content that will not be delivered using a secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of the entire webpage.
i am getting this error messgae alos. I am using IE8

It is working for me in Chrome. Not sure what to tell you on that one. I can't seem to reproduce it.

I'm still troubleshooting how to fix this. I do know what the problem is now. Working on it.

The problem is that some browsers throw a warning by default for when mixed content is delivered. Meaning that if some parts of the page are encrypted and some aren't, you'll get a warning in your browsers. The Google Analytics scripts that run on the site aren't encrypted like the rest of the board, so sometimes they're causing errors.

In desktop browsers this warning can be disabled, but that's not the correct solution to the problem. I'll get it right.

Or...

I could forget that this board has tons of embedded images, none of which are being delivered over encrypted channels.

So, you can either disable the warning in your browser of choice, or you'll get the errors thanks to all of wonderful signatures and images that are hosted off-site. The mixed-content warning isn't a real security risk to turn off. I've always done it when using IE. If anyone needs help with how to do it in their browser of choice, let me know.

Yeah, anything embedded from another site on the board will cause a browser error right now.

Working on it.

Looks like signatures are going to have to go away for now in order to help fix this.

But hey, look! There's a Quick Reply button at the bottom of each post now. That'll be handy during games.

Yeah, unfortunately there's no way around that. As long as we've got things embedded from other sites, that will be the case. I've tried to minimize it as much as possible.

And you can disable the warning in your browser, if you'd like.

something changed since 1645 hrs and now you cant load pictures over 600 pixels wide.

in fact you cant even quote a pic you just posted earlier today.

I spent 20 minutes trying to resize a MS Paint masterpiece and it's quite draining.

SCORCHO is it related to this issue?

I've noticed I can't see any posted images today. And I miss my nudity since Scorcho decided to go all moralist on us.

Yes, I disabled pictures over 600px wide because the column width on the default template will only show 600 pixels anyway.

Sorry. :(
