Redfacedwalrus Posted June 26, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 26, 2020 To anyone who gets this in the future: The next time you see this error, please click 'more details', or if you're on Chrome click the lock icon next to the URL and then click 'Certificate (Valid)' and show me the screenshot from there. That should help me to narrow down the problem, in the unlikely event that the cause is the same as last time. Your screenshot should look something like this (don't know if it's possible to find this on Mobile): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted June 26, 2020 Share #4 Posted June 26, 2020 I got the same message as MAdMAxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted June 26, 2020 Share #5 Posted June 26, 2020 Hi, She needs the info for the certificate. Please click the lock icon on the page that gives the warning message, then click on Certificate. You'll see a message like the one she posted. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen ★ Posted June 26, 2020 Share #6 Posted June 26, 2020 It hasn’t popped up for me today, but will do if I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chances of this ever actually being dangerous, no matter what any browser says, are very very small. Unless you are actively sending your credit card information or something like that while you see this warning, or if you purchase things on a site that shows this warning, there is nothing that can be stolen by a malicious third party. Except maybe the contents of your post. Which is... something we all can see. lol Also, clicking the lock icon / 'Not Secure' thing next to the URL only pulls up more details about the error, it does not push through to the site. It is very safe. No traps here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Silly Posted June 26, 2020 Share #9 Posted June 26, 2020 I got the message Maxx posted. It was before we had instructions. I just assumed SW was stealing my credit card numbers so I informed the FBI. I'd call them back to let them know it was a false alarm but that might be a little embarrassing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyone else who runs into this might not know as much about browser security warnings, so I wanted to shed some light on their relative harmlessness. Ironically, as I was submitting this reply, I got the error. I just received the info I needed so hopefully I can track down the cause. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted June 26, 2020 Share #13 Posted June 26, 2020 Just happened again. Here is a more complete screen shot after hitting the advanced key. There is no lock key, but hovering over the advanced key produced something in the lower left corner of the screen. "chrome-error/chromewebdata/# is what it appears to say for a URL.

Redfacedwalrus Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share #14 Posted June 26, 2020 Hey guys, Sorry, I didn't realize that the 'Show advanced' doesn't actually show the information like in my screenshot. You have to click the red 'Not Secure' up next to the URL, and then click 'Certificate' to get the pop-up box which is what I need. You can then press alt+print screen to capture just the content of that window so it looks like this: However, I just got the error myself so these screenshots are no longer needed (I'll welcome them if you still want to post them though, just in case I might get any additional info) @Square WheelsThis does not appear to be due to the same issue that happened last time. Looking into the possible cause now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted June 27, 2020 Share #17 Posted June 27, 2020 I got the message again today - right after I'd drafted a post about the purpose of life. So sad to think of all that wisdom wasted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The_Karen_Cooper_Incident Posted June 27, 2020 Popular Post Share #21 Posted June 27, 2020 It happened to me this morning. I didn't follow your directions because that's the type of guy I am. However, I did text AWWC a picture of my butt. Mudkipz 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
