DTRPG Security Alert notice (merged)

[IronWolf]

I'll throw my me too here too!

Looks like they might have changed the name of their server (or moved the ad to a different one) and now it doesn't match their cert name.

Hmm... they'll most probably be home by now. These alert boxes are really annoying. Is there any other way to temporarily deal with the problem? The ad isn't visible now, anyway. At least not in my browser.

Thought it was me. Its always good to know others are sharing your pain

 

[Turjan]

Seems to be over now, though .

Edit: Sigh... that relief was a bit premature.

 

[Truth Seeker]

I have been hit three times with it already.

I was about to reconfig my firewall...but nah...I will leave it to the problem solvers.

I've emailed Steve Wieck. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.

Five hours later, no fix. Maybe they're sleeping?

Well, I put graphics.drivethrurpg.com in AdBlock until it's fixed.

As it's still the same hassle, here a short fix for Firefox:

Under Tools - Options - Web Features - Load Images - Exceptions, enter graphics.drivethrurpg.com as "Block". This gets rid of the message.

 

[Plane Sailing]

The problem is that their SSL certificate is for www.drivethrurpg.com and the graphics are being delivered from a different subdomain: graphics.drivethrurpg.com. They need to host their graphics on their main domain and not this subdomain to avoid this warning message appearing.

Cheers

Whew, that was a pain in the butt. Thanks for helping on how to block that.

And to think that I thought I was the only one. I'm glad I'm not the only one...cause misery loves company.
