Title: Firefox Alert Message
Post by GrandPotentate on Sep 9th, 2007, 11:26pm
When I load pages today, I am getting a new alert box on Firefox.  It says:

Firefox can't connect securely to www.clusterheadaces.com because the site uses an older inscure version of the SSL protocol.

The pages also load very slowly.  Any idea what's up with this?

Pages load quite rapidly with IE6, and there is no such alert.

It is morphing!  It is no longer simply "insecure"  Last night was unbelievably slow.  Today is quite a bit faster but...  Today's message is:

"Firefox received a message with incorrect Message Authorization Code.  If this error occurs frequently, contact the Website Administrator."

I found some info at mozillaZine, but it did not help.  The source of the issue seems to be with this site only.

A couple of people have mentioned the same sort of problem recently.  I will be looking into it but would like to ask the browser and version of that browser you are having trouble with.

I am using FireFox v2.0.0.6 and IE v7.0.5730.11 here and can't re-create the problem.  As much information as possible would be greatly appreciated!

I'm using firefox 2.0.06 with no error messages. However, at times lately, the board is extremely slow to load, or it won't come up at all, as if I'm not online, but I am.

Oh, excuse me, I did get a 404 error message being forbidden to enter, one time. I figured DJ was doing some maintenance. I saw there were approx 693 members, and I was not on the list, as were a few others missing. That part is fixed now.

I don't know what IE 7 is doing, as I never use it for CH.com, or anything else if I can help it.

Firefox 2.0.0.6 at home is the one that was giving me fits noted above.  The "insecure" misspelling got me wondering if this was not a real alert, but it seems to have been around awhile on Firefox boards.  Then it morphed, as noted. Today it seems tobe working fine.

IE 6.0.2900.xpsp  sp2 on the same computer has had no issues.

I also have not had issues on a work PC - I believe that it has the same version of Firefox.

And finally, I have not seen any problems with anyother websites.
