Re: Signature Banner & Chrome

(http works OK)

Re: Signature Banner & Chrome
Yup! Got myself in a bit of a muddle with this HTTP to HTTPS nonsense. Wish I'd never started messing with something I don't understand. I'll take a break and have another go tomorrow. By the way my weather station is partially down at the moment as well. ..... as they say in weather circles "It never rains but it pours!"

I’ll never change to https. It’s a weather site, not a bank. If Chrome won’t show something as innocuous as a banner I’d dump it.forestedge wrote: ↑Fri 01 Jan 2021 8:11 pm That's because your whole site is http.

Re: Signature Banner & Chrome
Geoff, why bother with Chrome when it’s so restrictive? It’s a weather banner. If a browser blocks it then it’s not fit for purpose. No way should you have to make it a secure https site. Not for weather. I detest Google Chrome and the way various software encourages you to install it. I’ll stay with Firefox.

Re: Signature Banner & Chrome
Unfortunately Ray, this has been coming for a long time. Eventually, all browsers will be https only.RayProudfoot wrote: ↑Fri 01 Jan 2021 11:29 pm

It's not that difficult to install an SSL certificate, and you can get them for free.

Re: Signature Banner & Chrome
One day maybe but why do weather sites have to have security like this. I thought once we’re out of the EU this silliness would stop. It’s got an EU directive written all over it.

It has nothing to do with the EU or any laws, this is down to the WWW evolving. It is the same for everybody around the world.RayProudfoot wrote: ↑Fri 01 Jan 2021 11:35 pmOne day maybe but why do weather sites have to have security like this.

This quote from Mozilla / Firefox themselves:
The future of the web is HTTPS-Only
Once HTTPS becomes even more widely supported by websites than it is today, we expect it will be possible for web browsers to deprecate HTTP connections and require HTTPS for all websites. In summary, HTTPS-Only Mode is the future of web browsing!

Re: Signature Banner & Chrome
I don't run my own server so control over adding SSL stuff is controlled by the host.
beteljuice.????? is two 'domains' (.com / .co.uk) which makes things more interesting - my host is currently charging £50 + VAT per year / per domain for SSL
Seeing as how I am in the lucky situation of getting my hosting for free (It's an old, complicated story) I may be going into lock down in more ways than one

Re: Signature Banner & Chrome
I didn't realise a simple question about a missing banner would end up being blamed on the poor old EU.
Suffice to say - I like my Banner and the thought of not everyone is seeing it or not knowing if everyone can see it is the irritation for me - an itch that now has to me sorted.
Watch this space!

Re: Signature Banner & Chrome
But still not for me when I use Chrome. I think the issue does lay with HTTPS. My host have offered o convert my site so I should get it sorted next week.
