DTRPG Security Alert notice (merged)

[Klaus]

I've been getting the same certificate pop-up. Pretty annoying.

Anyway, this should probably be in Meta.

There is already a thread in Meta about this with a quick solution for Firefox users (disabling images from DTRPG domain).

They are using the certificate of the second level domain (drivethrurpg.com), but the URL is a third level domain (graphics.drivethrurpg.com), since the URLs are different, the browser is sending the alarm. Since it is a subdomain of the certificated one, there is nothing to worry about, probably.

That 'potentially malicious' stuff is just a standard message, there shouldn't really be anything to worry about, because the site in question is their own subdomain.

I've disabled the block that displays the ad until Drive Thru fixes the problem on their end.

It's the ad banner at the top of the page, Michael.

Another reason to never use or trust DTRPG because they crash your boot sectors and spy on your web surfing habbits.
They have however found out that WW buyers like more fetish material than a D&D buyer, who just looks at this all day long: www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript

While I agree.. there "shouldn't" be a problem..there also shouldn't be this problem either. Obviously they are making changes that effect others will very little testing. Disarming people because you assume there is no problem is not the proper recourse since you will not be personally fixing any problems that "could" creep up.

It is a problem and can cause larger problems "if" in the wrong hands.

*Morris: Sorry about the post in General.. waking up and get 2 different systems alarming me of a security issue I kind of get a little.. edgy*

And you think I am going to re-enable an ADVERTISEMENT after they fix it, right.

Do they have another ad or somthing at the very bottom of the page, too, 'cause I get another blank box with the red X down there.
