In an effort to improve site security, we have implemented Secure Socket Layer (SSL) on the site. Any links to http://www.elitedawgs.com will simply be redirected to https://www.elitedawgs.com

Awesome! Now my browser will stop screaming at me about EliteDawgs not being a secure site.

Mine too, vegas. Then I went to "Is It Down Right Now" and it said their site could ping ED so it was up and running, and it was just me that couldn't access the site. lol

yes, it does. I was just trying to get in like I had always previously done and it was not working. All I had to do was type an "e" and the rest would auto populate. I'll just cut and paste and hopefully my browser will start remembering the new one instead of the old.

This is truly TLS I assume?

Yeah, my bookmark quit working. Had to open it in a new window with a new bookmark. Thought for a minute it'd gone down again.

Why not just bookmark the site? What browser are you using?

Why are there big Twitter and Facebook logos at the bottom of each page? Or have they been there all along and I'm just now noticing them?

I think they're new. They're on mine too. Under the tab "Bookmarks".

That's what I thought as well

Might want to send out an official tweet from the Elite Dawgs account

I'm doing fine on my lap top but can no longer access on my mobile. I'm getting this "Your connection is not private"

It's asking me to click "back to safety" but I'm not going to do that until someone with some knowledge of this tells me what to do. could be one of those hacks.

Well, those of us that are here posting have obviously figured it out.

Just wanted to make sure others that haven't figured it out are made aware somehow. Twitter is one way to do it

I tried google and it's still popping up with that message I posted above. Don't want to click that until I know it's safe. I'm fine with my lap top, my mobile is doing this.

I'm actually having to go through a link on the Elitedawgs Twitter page to get here.

One problem is that the SSL redirect is messing up the slashes in the URL. For example:
http://www.elitedawgs.com/forumdisplay.php?2-Elitedawgs
is redirecting to:
https://www.elitedawgs.comforumdisplay.php/?2-Elitedawgs
If you Google around, this is a common problem with SSL redirects.

So, people's bookmarks are showing errors. Likewise, Google results that are not directly to the homepage are showing errors.

yeah, my phone and laptop were not allowing me to go in through my normal "favorites" icon for elitedawgs. For a couple of days i was thinking that C34 must have seriously taken his ball and left for good :confused:

Mine redirects me if I just do elitedawgs.com

But it doesn’t follow the old favorite link straight to the main forum

My favorite shortcut link: https://www.elitedawgs.com/search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post

Goes straight to the list of new/updated posts since your last visit. Super convenient to bookmark that if you're not already coming to the site that way.

I just deleted the old url in my Bookmarks, and added the new one. That works fine. Mine wouldn't redirect from the old url.

Maybe if you tried rebooting your phone, then opening a new browser and type in "elitedawgs.com". That should take you to the main page, then you can click on Elitedawgs to get to the sports forum. That worked for me. You have to essentially start over for some reason. You might even have to sign in again.

Whoever setup the redirect from http://elitedawgs.com needs to add another "/" in the new address.

I have a bookmark to EliteDawgs Forum of : http://www.elitedawgs.com/forumdisplay.php/?2-Elitedawgs

It is redirecting to https://www.elitedawgs.comforumdisplay.php/?2-Elitedawgs............... There should be a "/" between the m and f

I've also noticed Chrome is telling me "Insecure content blocked." "This page is trying to load scripts from unauthenticated sources."

Could there be some javascript injected into the site you guys don't know about?

We've modified the redirect to https - please post in this thread if you have any issues

It was related to the ads, this should be resolved now.
