    Default Minor problems with features during HTTPS: connect.

    Since switching to the https:// link instead of the old http:// one I've noticed odd behaviour when logging in through Firefox browser on a Linux PC. (Both are as updated as the 'official' repositories allow.)

    The smiley links in the RH pane of the 'advanced reply' screen do not work consistently. Every so often I can mouse over and see the roll-over text but that's all. Clicking on them doesn't insert the relevant code into the body text.

    The Thanks, Like, Pix Please & Thx 4 Pix buttons under posts in a thread also seem to suffer similar problems. The text highlights, but clicking accomplishes exactly nothing.

    A few times I've needed to log out and re-log in under the old non-secure URL in order to be able to use these functions.

    Just to complicate things, I don't believe it's all the time. I haven't taken note, but I'm pretty sure I've used these functions while posting during a secure connection without giving them a second thought; it's only when, out of the blue, they don't work that I remember them.

    But I guess that's human nature...
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    I am using the site on Windows and the latest version of Firefox.

    This isn't a complaint, hopefully useful feedback only - I cannot thank the team that run this site enough for making these forums available to us!

    I have found that pictures opened in a new tab, without the usual previous-next-close controls. And as mentioned above, thanks and like etc don't appear to work.

    I turned off the secure access (clicking the padlock icon in the address bar will reveal this option), and switched back to http (non secure). The above problems immediately were resolved.

    If you go to Neil’s post in this thread, he explains what’s going on.
