Hot Boat "Site Security Alert" ???

[sdpm]

I am getting a message every time I try to log onto here. It reads:
Security Alert
There is a problem with this site's security certificate.
The name on the certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site.
Then it asks if you want to proceed?
I click on any of the answers and nothing happens? To get in I have to keep hitting the "Close Box Red X" to get in.
Anyone else see this pop up or is it just me??

They need to fix this :mad:

[Devilman]

I tried getting into my image gallery & it throws this message out there:
Script call malformed. Notify your Administrator. http://www.hotboatpics.com/pics/data/500/10158dunno-thumb.gif

I get it too. But only when I load it from bookmarks. I didn't get it when I logged on from ***boat.net.. Don't know why...

[sdpm]

Certificate reads: Issued to ***boat.com
Issued by Equifax Secure ebusiness CA-1
Valid from 7-13-2005 to 7-14-2007
Then it asks if you want to install certificate?
Now it pops up everytime I move to a different thread or even refresh! Fix it!!

I'm stuck on the freeway .. so I figured I post this on my way in between putting on my makeup and talking on my cell phone. Oh and eating breakfast. :)

Just use this link........... http://***boat.com/forums/index.php .
It takes you directly to the forums and bypasses the main page which is probably whats trigering the alerts. Hope that helps.

I tired this and it still does it!
But try this link and bookmark it and should work, http://***boat.com/forums/

[abraman1326]

That link doesn't work, it still does the same thing. Thanks for trying though. I get it too every time I move to a different page. I'm sure it's something between my computer and the site. Hope they can get it fixed pretty quick, that "beep" is getting quite annoying. Guess I could go check out other sites, but where's the fun in that...

Ha, this place is far from secure. There are information leaks around every corner or click.
I for one don't ever put anything on a PM that's delicate.. ;)

Funny, Other than not being able to log on for a few hours yesterday, I've never had a problem. I tried both the "***boat.com/forums" and "/index.php" links and they trigger cert warnings at every turn. I've been connecting via ***boat.com and clicking on the oil pressure guage to get in... no problems.

Hey Dave, I'm finally getting better! Should be back on my feet in a couple of months. My leg still hurts like hell though. How's the fitting buisness?

[ColeTR2]

I can get loged into the Image Gallery to up load pictures. I have been having problems with the site sense it went back to the blue color.

HB sux!:D

[Waldo]

I keep having to log in every 5 minutes...every other page I have a password is fine...could it be this site as well?

[RitcheyRch]

I'm also getting those same messages. Atleast know am not the only one.

[Throttle]

this is pissing me off...

[***boat]

The problem you are seeing is because the SSL cert for ***boat.com was issued to "www.***boat.com" not "***boat.com". I'm not sure why you are going secure or how you managed to get to a secure connection. Maybe you have the site bookmarked that way. You can tell if you are in SSL mode because the url will have an "s" in the http:// part. Like this https://www.***boat.com. It should be http://www.***boat.com unless you are checking out of the store.
Try setting it to http://www.***boat.com and re-bookmarking the site. There is a possibility that you are using some sort of antivirus/ "internet security" software that is trying to upgrade all your browsing to a secure connection if possible. If that is the case please go and poke the software manufacturer in the eye for me.
To sum up: At this time I do not believe this to be a problem with ***boat.com. The security certificate was issued to www.***boat.com not ***boat.com for good reason. If you feel the need to browse this site securely set your bookmark to https://www.***boat.com, but in my opinion this is a bit silly. I think a better practice would be not to discuss sensitive information on a boating message board.

[Cheap Thrills]

I had some security cert. warnings a while back but it was almost every site I hit. It took me forever to notice that my clock and date settings had gotten messed up. I believe the security certs are date and time stamped and if the date time on your comp. doesn't match you will get a cert warning.
Once I set the clock and date they quit showing up.
Now if I can just figure out how my clock got screwed up I'll be happy :D

[blown65]

Though it didn't happen this time. (change something on your end?) I have mine bookmarked http://***boat.com/forums/index.php and got that message every time.
I also tried last night just typing it with the www and no http and same result.

[***boat]

I'm waiting for a response from Norton to see if they are the problem. If that is the case it's a poorly thought out feature, but you can get around it by bookmarking "www.***boat.com/forums" instead of "***boat.com/forums".

[blown65]

Well, at least on my end it seems fixed now. :)

[mrs.rvrluvr]

I get it to I thought it was normal because I am new. I have to hit yes 7or8 times b4 it will go away

[abraman1326]

Using www. in the address helped. Thanks ***boat...

[Throttle]

still messed up... no matter what address I use...

[***boat]

Well I'm still not sure what is causing you to go secure, but if I had to guess I still think it is an internet security package like Norton, McAfee's or Trendmicro, possibly even windows defender or one care. Here was the response from Norton:
Yogesh(Fri Jan 5 12:45:38 PST 2007): Hello ***boat . My name is Yogesh.
Yogesh(Fri Jan 5 12:45:43 PST 2007): Thank you for contacting Symantec Live Technical Support.
***boat (Fri Jan 5 12:46:09 PST 2007): hello
***boat (Fri Jan 5 12:46:14 PST 2007): Quick question
***boat (Fri Jan 5 12:46:53 PST 2007): Users on my website using norton internet security are having issues with their browsers switching to ssl mode when they login
***boat (Fri Jan 5 12:47:14 PST 2007): Is this a feature of IS 2007 or could it be another product causing the problem?
Yogesh(Fri Jan 5 12:47:52 PST 2007): I understand that users are unable to get into SSL mode. Am I correct?
***boat (Fri Jan 5 12:48:50 PST 2007): no, they are not in ssl mode to start with. After they go to login it is switching them to SSL mode
Yogesh(Fri Jan 5 12:50:08 PST 2007): May I know your first name, last name, email address and phone number, please?
***boat (Fri Jan 5 12:50:49 PST 2007): (edited)
Yogesh(Fri Jan 5 12:51:27 PST 2007): Thank you for providing requested information.
Yogesh(Fri Jan 5 12:51:41 PST 2007): May I know which website they are trying to log in?
***boat (Fri Jan 5 12:52:17 PST 2007): http://www.***boat.com/forums
Yogesh(Fri Jan 5 12:56:43 PST 2007): Please note that Norton program cannot work with Secured Socket layer .If that website is working on SSL, the Norton can case conflicts.
Yogesh(Fri Jan 5 12:56:48 PST 2007): I apologize for the delay in the response.
***boat (Fri Jan 5 12:57:15 PST 2007): OK, thanks
Basicly this means that the guy I was talking to has no idea what he is talking about and blew me off.

Same here:D

What anti virus software are you using? Also make sure your date and time are correct. You would have to be more than 6 months off to cause a problem like that.

Same here:D
Worked for me also. I just clicked on the ***boat link that the moderator has in his thread and then bookmarked it and all is better now!:D O.K. ***boat don't sux now! Thanks Mod. Sorry I mean Admin.

[AZKC]

I think it has to do with the last explorer update that Microsoft crammed down our throat. Maybe try Firefox as a browser.:)

[havaduner]

Did the same thing, problem has gone away.

[Seadog]

I wish I knew why my home computer will not auto log in. It is ok for my work computer, but every time I try at home, I have to go through the whole process.

[blown65]

What anti virus software are you using? Also make sure your date and time are correct. You would have to be more than 6 months off to cause a problem like that.
Mines doing it at home, maybe its Firefox. Didnt seem to start until yest when the site was messed up.
BTW, its bookmarked with the WWW and it still does it.
No norton etc etc. Just security with firefox.
For whatever reason, leaving the index.php off at the end clears it though.

I dunno, I will get some help... I first noticed it yesterday after the site was down...

[bigq]

***boat,
half the links on the main page are secure links and half are not. The errors are coming from a mismatch when the certificate is used for the secure content. Remove the secure content and it should solve the mismatched certificate since the certificate would not be used for non secure traffic. Just a guess.

[Rexone]

And how bout that image center. :confused:

[ThongMagnet]

Any of you update to "Internet Explorer 7" lately. I'm having the same trouble.

[bigq]

It's not the browser it's the site. You can also try using https://www which might help.
Also do this:
To allow mixed content
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
Click the Security tab, add ***boat.com to trusted sites and then click the Custom Level button.
In the Security Settings dialog box, scroll to the Display mixed content setting in the Miscellaneous section, and then click Enable.
Click OK in the Security Settings dialog box, and then click OK to exit Internet Options.

[Rexone]

I don't think it's the problem.
I loaded IE7 the other day and hated it though. Restored to IE6 within the hour. I use firefox a lot now anyway.

[zipper]

Forums is o.k but no image center:(

[skiharper]

Lost Image Center a couple of days ago. Still receive error message,
Script call malformed. Notify your Administrator. Anyone working on this?

[EAZYKILLER2006]

this is pissing me off...
what he said...since "hot boat" is my defalt home page...i have to click,click,click, for ever web page i open...annoying!:mad:

[Patyacht]

what he said...since "hot boat" is my defalt home page...i have to click,click,click, for ever web page i open...annoying!:mad:
Real simple:
1. Set your Home page to http://www.***boat.com/ and not http://***boat.com/
NOTE: the www is missing from the 2nd address (link) above and will cause the security warning. Use the www in all your address entries trying to view ***boat. (The ads on each page act like pop-ups causing those security warnings)
2. Change your Favorites and link button to ***boat to the same in 1 above.
3. Gallery not working is a separate issue that i think ***boat is working on.

[convincor]

Taking out the www doesn't work for me. :mad:

Me too, and it's a pain to post pix now as well.
All kinds of things to click on,, all kinds of questions.

lol, its back
***boat.net and ***boat.com

[***boat]

***boat,
half the links on the main page are secure links and half are not. The errors are coming from a mismatch when the certificate is used for the secure content. Remove the secure content and it should solve the mismatched certificate since the certificate would not be used for non secure traffic. Just a guess.
The links on the home page are not secure on the server end or in the source code. I'm not sure what software is doing it, but on client side some, but not all people are seeing the links change to https automatically. It would make sense for a Internet security software to do this, because it would automatically encrypt your login. It will however mess things up if you are using ***boat.com as a base not www.***boat.com. Also since some of the links are hard links not relative you will get a non-secure content warning.

[***boat]

Taking out the www doesn't work for me. :mad:
Add in the www, not take out.

I am noticing that my post count is dropping and I am not posting any pics... cuz its a pain in da azz with whatever has changed recently!
