Firefox Warning when Logging In

Using Jamroom

Did that and refreshed cache, integrity, restarted browsers etc...both FF and chrome- did not seem to make the sliders reappear. (am referring to on the whistle site home page)

BTW, the sliders on that page are showing and working fine on Safari, after I changed it to https like you just suggested.

Michael, my apologies but it's after midnight and I'm falling asleep- be back tomorrow. Thanks for your help!

Firefox Warning when Logging In

Using Jamroom

Interesting. I did the switch on my pennywhistle site (which has very few members as of yet and is thus good for testing).
I used Chrome Developer Tools to show me the offending page items. One was a little older smiley icon which I removed. Another was a photo on my profile page that I reloaded and was then fine. Most pages seemed green-locked ok now on that whistle site.
But the problem issue was my two animated ad sliders I use on the Home page of both my sites. They are in html iframe code, and the images are hosted by a very inexpensive 3rd party site I use and like called Comslider, not in the US.
Here's the Chrome https warning i get about the sliders, which are now blocked from loading:

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://pennywhistleclub.com/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource 'http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/comslider/target/users/1487350267xd4950b10706967
cf4fe5fa89322f1201/comsliderframe1238105.html'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

The iframe http code used for the slider there is:

So... I've written Comslider asking if they can make the appropriate changes to become 'secure' https. I guess that's all I can do if I want to keep using their slider, right?

Right now my Pennywhistleclub.com site is locked/secure https, but only because the two sliders are being blocked. That's ok for now, because I have no paying clients with ads on that site.
But on my other site http://fotmd.com/ I have NOT made the https change, so the FF/Chrome show it not greenlocked, and you can see my two ad sliders are still functioning fine right in the middle of the Home page there. I can't go to https on that site until I get the slider compliant because I have several paying customers with current ads running.

Thanks Michael! I will try this out on my relatively inactive site first. =8-)
I can't believe Jamroom makes this so easy to do. !

Does this effect my Google analytics in that: will I need to change my settings there to reflect the new https ? Or is it all just a redirect and no need to change GoogAnalytics settings? Thanks for clarifying these details for me.

Can I do this on my two jr sites as well? -Or do I need to do something special beforehand?
Will I need to change all my current site hotlinks as well, or can those all remain the same?
Can I revert back to the way it was previously if this SSL enablement causes a problem?

I've been reading about how Chrome and FF are now kicking in this 'insecure' warning on sites with login functions. It'll be more common soon for non-https sites.

Suggestion: Add video, audio or file directly in comment

Suggestions

You can already embed any Youtube or Vimeo video within a discussion post or a comment. It does NOT have to be uploaded in your profile/account or residing on your site at all- you will be simply pasting in a Youtube url for example, and the video will appear in your post and be playable right there. Here's an example from my site:

Did you install and activate the jr Embed Module?

Reports that users are accidentally getting logged in as different users?

Using Jamroom

When this used to happen to me on CometChat, it was due to the chat 'reading' people as their user numbers by a differnt number than the rest of JR was- when in fact it was supposed to be seeing people by their other number. User # and profile #s are differnet, and the chat was ID'ing people by the wrong one. Just a thought..

So weird that CometChat just pulled the module without a word. Hmph!

ibr, you can test out the Jamroom Chat function right here on this same page- look for the "speech bubble" icon at lower right to test the chat. And it's FREE with all your jamroom hosted account sites!

Jamroom hosting and hosting support is THE BEST.
