Mike aka Grilled (formerly grilled sardine) owns and manages this forum. Dale aka Jet (formerly stupidjet) and he started it around 2008. I joined in 2008 or 2009 when there were about 30-50 registered users I think? I am a moderator, but mostly just deal with spam and the occasional outburst. I used to post a lot but stopped doing trip reports after a few years bc it started to get repetitive or spots were getting overrun. This is my favorite time of year for rockfish and the night bite is heating up!

what are your questions?

I have a question for you... recently I have been getting the following message when I navigate to www.snaggedline.com using an up-to-date Firefox browser:



When I click the "Learn more" link it takes me to the following page, which elaborates on HTTP, HTTPS, and related security issues. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb...ocking-firefox It appears Firefox blocks "mixed content" which includes Snaggedline.

As you can see, much of the content in Snaggedline is blocked. There are no graphical elements at all, only text. It looks "broken".

I have to manually disable the protection provided by Firefox in order to view the forum in a somewhat legible way, and even then things are not quite right - it appears many image elements are still blocked. This is how the main forum looks, note the absence of images like the Snaggedline logo at the top, and any graphic icons that serve as hyperlinks e.g. a home button icon, icons to take you to new messages, etc. I also can not see emojis on the site.



Is it possible for you as an administrator to rectify this situation? I don't know a whole lot about web-hosting or administrating websites but it seems like a solution could be to serve the website over HTTPS instead of HTTP.

Sorry, we went on a week long fishing trip... just checking in to see if there was spam here. Night launches, I live in QAC and fish from there mostly.

@ Grilled... we've talked about the SSL cert issue a few times, but the gist is it costs money and this forum is a labor of love.
