VaBeachGuy 12 Posted July 18, 2004 Some of you may or may not have noticed a "Donate" button on the portal and in a few of the Mods Sigs, that's done through Pay Pal and is there so that anyone that wants to contribute to the payment of the board they can. Just recently people have been getting a Security Alert Popup (pictured below) when pages that contain that popup are opened. I believe that's happening because of Pay Pal. If you click "View Certificate" (which is ok to click and won't cause any harm). It should tell you why it's popping up. If you aren't comfortable clicking View Certificate just click yes or no and it will go away. If you get a different looking popup take a screen print of it or tell me about it and we'll see what it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace 0 Posted July 18, 2004 Thanks for posting this, VBG. I've already gotten it about 5 or 6 times in the past hour and didn't know what was causing it. :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is I will remove the icon until they get things fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd really like to know if it is Pay Pal. If it is I will remove the icon until they get things fixed. I didn't, but I will if it pops up again. It hasn't happened in the last bit, and I've been on pages with both your's and AE's paypals. Seems like it's something else to me. One thing I noticed is that it tended to happen in topics that had links to other places contained in the text. Coincidence? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted July 18, 2004 I found it and fixed it, it was just a picture that was being linked from a secure site. THe secure site must not allow hotlinks. It's taken care of now though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
