Title: Viewing site form tablet and phone.
Post by: Chuck-68-Cam on July 30, 2022, 03:42:36 PM: I was wondering if anyone would know why I can not get to site on my Android phone (Pixel 6 Pro) my android tablet and my Kindle Fire. I can hit the landing page no issues, but as soon as I click on forums i get the forbidden message talking about page no being secure with bad certificates. Any idea?

The problem is the Camaros.org pages are loaded insecurely. Used to be that using a security certificate was optional and usually only done on sites processing credit cards. Now it is required by all browsers. Each mobile device, and phone handles non-secure pages in various ways, but they get tighter all the time.

If you look at the address of these pages they start with http:// (unsecure) when they need to start with https:// .

This site was originally built when that didn't matter as much, but unless you allow the unsecure pages on your device (if it's possible) the pages won't load properly.

On a large old site it is a lot of work to fix but it can be done.

That is I posted here to see if it was just me, the site or the phone. Guess it's the phone. I will find out if there is a way...lol

Thanks

Regular CRG pages are OK, just not the forum section. I have not done an exhaustive settings trial & error, as I don't want to and literally no other site I visit has a problem with my settings. Definitely a YMMV situation, it would appear.
