Hi Chris,

Sorry for replying to your message with an unrelated one, but I wanted to ask whether you could clean up those spam messages in this forum -- they are already there for more than a month, so I thought it was worth replying to your message.

Thanks in advance.

I started getting these messages a while back in IE 9 When i first open a link to a page.

My desktop shortcut goes here
http://www.rootadmin.com/script/Articles/Latest.aspx[^]

Nothing appears to be wrong, so what could IE be blocking ?

That page isn't SSL. In fact if you hit it using https:// it automatically sends you back to http:.

Your IE install is having security delusions.

I think it may be because the Google Analytics is using ssl.

(function () {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(ga);
})();

It's the same script we use on CodeProject, and you can see that that script sniffs the protocol to ensure it sets the right protocol on its scripts.

I'm not that good with java script I can only assume that the ":" between the two means "or".

The Google stuff was the only things I seen that mentioned https.

It must be a lazy IE check.

ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';

Conditional operator ?:. Translates to

if ('https:' == document.location.protocol) // if SSL
   ga.src = 'https://ssl' + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
else
   ga.src = 'http://www' + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';

The Quick Answers page here has a CP icon, not a RootAdmin one.

This has been marked as fixed, but this bug is back. The favicon of QA is now CP's icon.

Untrusted connection when logging on [Seems Fixed]

I am seeing CodeProject banners and colors all around instead of the usual RootAdmin theme.

[EDIT]
Seems to have been fixed now.

The 'Premium' icon looks too much like the 'Protector' icon

31-Mar-14 5:26

When I tried to log on here, Firefox told me that there was an Untrusted connection[^], so probably there is a problem with your SSL certificate.

[Edit]

This issue seems to be fixed now.

I got my account working.

14-Mar-14 8:53

So I looked at my profile and I saw a Premium icon. When looking at the Member Types page, I saw that the Premium icon is exactly the same as the Protector icon. So to avoid confusion, I suggest a different icon for Premium.

It looks like I have gotten things working so I can log in here on RA with my SoMad account.

Here is a quick recap of what messed things up (hopefully this can help somebody else some day):
- I had my SoMad account on CodeProject and it was linked with my SoMad account here.
- After 12 years I changed jobs and had to change my email address, which I did on CP.
- After the change of address, I was unable to log in here on RA.
- I changed my email address on CP back to the old address and I could log in again.
- I tried changing the address here on RA, but that just made me unable to log in on CP, so I reverted back to the old address.
- On CP, I tried configuring my new email address and link to my Facebook account, which had the same email address. DO NOT DO THAT. This created a new account here on RA, linked to the SoMad accounts on CP and RA. Chris eventually deleted the new shadow account, but every time I connected to RA, it would try to log in with that, non-existing account.

I don't know if you guys changed something to handle email address changes across the sites, but today I got it working using these steps (3 email addresses):
- On CP: Change my email address back to the old one, which made it possible to log in here on RA.
- On RA: Change my email address to a brand new, 3rd email address. This was reflected in my CP account (that did not happen on my previous attempts several months ago).
- On RA: Change my email address back to my preferred email address.

~~So far, everything seems to work.~~

[EDIT]
Well, the solution above turned out not to work after all (I could log in and out from RootAdmin just fine and navigate on CodeProject without errors, but after closing and reopening the browser, I was unable to log into CodeProject). Settling on my new, 3rd email address in My Settings has solved the problem, so that is what I am going with.

Chris, I keep getting this message at random when viewing the RA lounge (and Sugs'n'Bugs so presumably it's a general problem) - open again in a new window and the page might come up, but F5 and CTRL+F5 don't appear to work - once you get it, you seem to keep on getting the message.

The My Setting page is a mess too. The tabs never load, so all the settings are shown on a single page. I don't know if those things are related, but they could be.
