There is a problem that needs to get resolved.

 

Latest version of Firefox sees a problem. Will do some more investigating. I do not use this password anywhere else, if I did I would change it. I recommend that if you do you change the other places that are important that use the same password.

That's because of the security certificate, the site is not https. That's not really a worry for forums more for sites where you are passing on financial information like card numbers on paypal. You can still get phishing attacks on secure sites. I read earlier that the site is applying for SSL certification.

Yes absolutely it needs resolved, it's just finding the problem which is the problem, specially when it cannot be replicated

I had a similar thing a while ago re: the earlier problem.

 

I ran Spybot : https://www.safer-networking.org/ - the free version, and then CCleaner https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner - The free version.*

 

My computer was then bug free.

 

It's client side not server side that is the problem.

 

*I'd recommend backing up your data before/during running these programs.

I've never had this on arbtalk (it happens on some other sites I occasionally visit for "research" purposes...)

Using Chrome, turned off all my add-blockers, pop-up blockers etc. Using a chromebook so no added AV programs are running, can't get this to happen.
