On "The Valley Cafe" thread, it says the last post was by iainment, but when I go on there the last post showing is Chrissy\\\'s Army's?

Please look into this as I think iain is one of the best posters on here and I can not go another day, not knowing what he said.....

Cheers

If using a smiley face with an android phone, does the rest of the post after the smiley get erased has anyone noticed?

Had a small essay written earlier on a thread and after posting it, everything that came after the smiley, didn't show?

Chrome browser has it that CL is not secure and as a result is preventing members' signing in.
MS Edge not having the same issue.
Is that smthn the site's admin need to attend to or is that a Chrome browser glitch?

All mods plugged in for another shift at Lifer Towers:



A mod unplugged for temporary recuperation and the chance to dream that they are in Lidl:

Not having that problem with chrome on a laptop. What version are you on - mine is 68.0.3440.106

I'm logged on with chrome on a laptop and it's saying not secure. (No idea about versions).

Yeah, it says that because it isn't a secure site. But that should only be a warning not to enter personal data. What message do you get if you click on the i in the circle beside "not secure". And you'll find if your version is up to date by clicking on the three little dots - top r/h side and selecting help then "about Google Chrome".

I keep being signed out on the home page and then back in when I click on a thread. Happens on phone and laptop. Anything I can do to stop this happening?

"You should not enter any sensitive information such as passwords and card details".
My version is up to date.

I get that sometimes on a shit internet connection on the iPhone but I’m sure this being looked into and sounds like an upgrade issue with android.

@StigThundercock what URL are you trying to use to sign in?

@Moutakilla, @RedChaser I get that problem occasionally, because I've been using the https://charltonlife.vanillacommunity.com/ link rather than the https://forum.charltonlife.com/ one, and so when I click on the Forum link at the top it seems to think I'm not logged on. Avoiding using the links at the top and sticking to the ones on the sidebar instead does the trick, as I think does signing in again on the other version, although I don't use the mobile site so dunno if it works for that.

As far as the security certificate thing goes, I think there are a couple of sources of the problem

1) the "Forum", "Categories" and "Activity" links at the top of the page aren't explicitly https while the one underneath the Charlton Life logo is. So even if you started off on a https link, it'll kick you over to an insecure one if you click on one of those, and then Chrome will show that it's not secure when you try to sign in. (@LoOkOuT can you update those links so we can rule that out please?)

2) Even if you're using the https site correctly, if someone has embedded an image or a video from a http site on the page, that'll cause a slightly different warning. This page has a "Your connection to this site is not fully secure" warning (in Firefox you get a padlock with a yellow warning triangle, rather than the circled i that the http page gets) because @Stig's second image is on a http site rather than https, but on other pages such as the Aretha Franklin thread you don't get that error (and instead a green padlock in firefox) because all the links are to https sites.

I was trying to sign in to forum.charltonlife.com which today is fine via Chrome
