Hello everyone-

When I try to log in from the homepage, I get a message to the effect that it is an "Invalid URL", and I cannot log in. However, when I log in to reply to a thread, the website takes my name and password, and I can get in. it's an easy workaround, but I'm curious - is anyone else having this problem? Thanks-

I haven't changed anything and use the same bookmark.

No it hasn't always been https (secure encrypted SSL connection).

Previously to a month or two ago it was http (unsecured unencrypted connection).

Thanks boss, just noticed the added S in the address and have changed it.

Hey, for some it just takes a little longer.

A question Steve.

The difference I notice now is that everytime I click on a thread I now get the question if I want to display secure connections or not.

Is this the way it's supposed to be?

If you are using IE Go to Tools /Internet Options / Security tab /make sure Internet zone is selected first. Then click Custom level/scroll down and look for “Display mixed content” and select it to Enable the annoying pop up will be gone. Its mainly because of the pictures hosted on different sites other than TRF.

Stop using Internet Explorer.

Almost any browser is better.

That's what everybody tells me but I'm so used to it (have had it since Windows 95) that I'm foolishly sticking with it.

https is not slower than http really at all.
It maybe that you have http pages/images cached and when you start to use https it will seem a little slower.
But give it a little time and https will appear to be super fast.
