Still having Issues.

All,

I'm still trying to get this working. I think the MAIN problem is the performance of the web server. This site is on a shared server, meaning many other site are on the same IP address and the server sorts it out. I think that the server is overloaded and that the Security Certificate is not up to date, although I have paid for the latest Security Certificate. I have been using the same server since 2008, maybe it is time to change it. I have a trouble ticket in, let's see if that helps. I'm sorry I have not had a lot of time to deal with these issues, I have a lot going on right now. I will work on this as I have the opportunity.

I think you're going in the right direction with the Security Certificate.

I would be happy to be your assistant in research if this doesn't work. I don't need any admin credentials or passwords. Just PM me if you have a question. I love researching things if I don't know the answer off the top of my head. Knowledge is power and that is the VERY reason I come to NASA Tom's forum.

I'll make it a priority to login frequently until this issue is resolved. I'll set aside the time for that...no problem at all.

Thank you Sir.

THANKS PulltabKing!!! There are folks willing to help. Wally...... LET THEM HELP!!!!...... if you are short on time.....and can't resolve (Phorum)!!!

We have lost TOO MANY MEMBERS (many of them are VERY senior.....with extreme talent/skillset). They have completely given up on us. . . . . because they can no longer 'log-on'...................and..................... to make it worse: they have no way of contacting us!!! THAT'S what REALLY hurts us (and this forum).

The main issue at this end is the mixed content in the sites template.

The site itself is served over https, e.g. this thread is at

[www.dankowskidetectors.com]

However all of the CSS and Javascript, plus the POST locations for the submit post/log in forms are over plain HTTP, e.g.

[www.dankowskidetectors.com]

[www.dankowskidetectors.com]

and the POST forms targeting unsecure endpoints:

form id="post_form" name="post_form" action="[www.dankowskidetectors.com]; method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"

Until all of those references are changed to bet HTTPS instead of HTTP them the majority of modern browsers will block them and render the site largely unusable.

I'd expect the above to be a relatively trivial change either in the Phorum management interface or a quick edit within the site templates.

The database errors may be linked to a mismatch between the version of DB software running vs the version the Phorum software is expecting.

As SteveG has said there's a bunch of guys who'd be willing to help out if needed.

Good luck and thanks!
Dan
