Apple recently put out a new release, and now I get "Not Secure" as part of the website name, on this site. Does anyone else get this, and do you know if it's because this isn't an https site?

I'm getting the same message as well.

I've been getting it for quite a while now.

Yes I've been getting that notification for a few years now. I made a thread here http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?p=5229998#post5229998

I think it is due to the lack of https on the site but it's probably not a big deal.

I agree, this site doesn't need to be encrypted. I think Apple used to just show an unlocked padlock (and on an https site they show a locked padlock).

When using a browser such as Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge, I don’t get this message.

Not only am I getting that, but I can't access it through Internet Explorer, I have to go through Chrome like a homeless person (just kidding).

I agree, this site doesn't need to be encrypted...
No it doesnt.. Its insane how many ppl are being scared down this control path!!!!!


Makes it harder for those of us on older browsers that cant read the new certs!!

BOTTOM LINE IS: HTTPS IS NOT NEEDED ON A SITE LIKE THIS!!!!!!! (Def not forcing it)

cellar.org (VBB) has HTTPS but they dont block HTTP (Niether does hipforums.com/forum (Xenforo))


The whole thing is sickening that people can be controlled and led so easily!!!!!!


This site did not all of a sudden become UNSECURE... Its just stupid scare mongering garbage meant to get you doing what they want!!

I'm using Opera for a browser at the moment, and SitcomsOnline is not secure on there either.

Same with Chrome.

https is mostly for banking and retail sites when you give your credit card information. I know many big sites like ESPN.com haven't switched over to https yet. I know the site is secure and the passwords are encrypted, so we've never had any major problems.

We bought a SSL certficate, but it still needs to be installed and configured. We will probably have to move to another server soon, so I'm going to try to get everything done then. It's a bit complicated to set up because all of the http links will need to be changed to https and all the http pages will have to re-direct to https. It will help more people find the site when we switch to https because the search engines seem to rank https sites higher.

When are you planning on getting all of this done?

It will probably be done near the end of the month. It will probably take 12-24 hours to do everything.

It would be really nice if this was all fixed, because I'm getting tired and annoyed of seeing the Not Secure message on just about almost every browser I use.

I've been getting the not secure message for months but today I got this message which kind of freaked me out. Is it safe to keep using this site?

It's still safe to use. That's the same message I got when using Webroot and uninstalling the program got rid of the message.

Yes just ignore it MA,its all BS!!!

The internet is the same as its ever been!!!

Dont be controlled!!

I'm still getting the Not Secure message two months later.

Have you tried typing in "https://" in front of the address? I did that and it seemed to help.

It still says "Parts of this page are not secure (such as images)".

But at least it lets me log in and post without trouble.

I haven't tried that yet, but I could.

TJ said he was working on SO becoming https I believe.

When did he say that?

I believe in an earlier response, unless I’ve misunderstood

When did he say that?

Earlier in this thread.

But he said the site is secure already so I don't think he's in any hurry to transfer to https.

We've switched everything over to https. Please update your bookmarks and favorites to the https version.

It should no longer display the not secure message, but it might not display the locked icon on every page yet. There's still a lot of http links that need to be switched to https.

You might need to re-login. If there are any issues, please let us know.

The Sitcoms Online Blog is still giving the Not Secure message.

I guess I was wrong :lol:

I'm getting "secure connection" on all pages so far. Thanks TJ :wave:

The blog is hosted by Blogger. We might change the url or move it to another address since another SSL certificate would be needed. We had to switch the main site over first.

Do you know when it’s going to be happening?

I'm getting the same message as well.

The picture gallery is back up.

Do you know when it’s going to be happening?

No, I don't know when it will happen. Let's take a deep breath and calm down. We are doing one thing at a time. Thank you.

Okay, and I will. Just wanted to ask, that’s all.

Oh, wow! This is now an https site. No more "Not Secure" message.

A WOW from me too. Didn’t think this would happen so soon. Thx TJ!

A WOW from me too. Thx TJ!

Ditto!

I have no idea what any of this means, and the site looks the same to me, but I definitely feel much more secure.

The blog is now available with https at https://blog.sitcomsonline.com

Thanks for the update and all you do for us TJ. You rock!

My bookmark for SO on both my computer and my parents' computer has remained the same since the https switch and did not need changed.

It's the same for my laptop as well.

It automatically re-directs all http links to https, but you should still update them.

I suppose I'm the only one who's having the "Remember Me" problem with the Logon again. I keep putting in the checkmark every day and it keeps not remembering me.

Are you clearing the cookies every time you are closing out your browser? I haven't heard about anybody experiencing this.

I would probably just clear your entire cookies, so the cookie to remember you is reset.

I think you hit on it. On the Mac I clear history daily, but I select today's history. Sitcoms cookies go back beyond today, so the cookies are probably "old."

That happens to me too. I guess I'll try clearing my cookies.

So happy not to see the "Not Secure" message at the top of the screen anymore!!! :)
