Annoying - website now has 'security certificate errors' messages with IE7

anthonyrichards — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 08:54:34 GMT

When displaying the forum webpage I now get an annoying IE7 message saying that 'To help protect your security, Internet explorer has blocked this website from displaying content with security errors. Click here for options...'. The options include 'Display blocked content' which, when I select it, refreshes the page but displays the same message..again...and again...etc. What has been done toyour website since Friday when I last displayed it (or is it a change to IE7 7.0.5730.11)?

Heavy spamming on the forum sites, IE7 not a popular browser, not to mention lack of checking with browsers which are picky about certificates

I'm not aware of any changes, but then I am not always told in advance of what changes. Can you get IE to tell you what content is being blocked? Is anyone else seeing this?

You may have some browser add-on which is doing this to you.

hate to be a 'mee too', but 1st and every visit today has the message 'To help protect your secrity, IE has blocked this website from displaying content with secrity certificate errors'.
must be Microsoft want Intel to pony up some more ka-ching to correct them there certificate errors! :-)
I haven't moved to IE8 (why?) and perhaps this is a new ploy Microsoft has to get folks to waste the time moving to IE8?
just because i might be a wee bitparanoid delusional doesn't mean nuthin! :-))

Is it any forum page that does this? I'm puzzled because the normal forum pages are not secure (https).

Steve,

This started yesterday (Sunday October 18). All pages, even the post message/reply message give this annoying error.

"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has blocked this website from displaying content with security certificat errors. Click here for options..."

I am using IE 8.0

Ok, I see the issue now. It is the certificate for registrationcenter.intel.com that expired. I'll report that.

Fix is in progress.

I am told that the problem is fixed. You may need to restart your browser. Let me know if you still see the problem.

Steve,

Interesting difference between IE6, which we are still using, and IE7.

I knew immediately that the certificate had expired and notified the registration centre. Users with IE7 apparentlygot the blocked website message with no explanation of the reason. So much for progress.

That's not true, I got the message using Firefox as well, but Firefox did not block the website, and left a backdoor. But now everything is bright again.
