I've just gone to ebay from a google search, pressed on the 'sign in' link at the top of the page near the logo, and when I looked down the bottom at the padlock, it has a red circle with a white exclamation mark in it....the message says 'Warning Contains unauthenticated content".
I backed out, and went back through the Welcome to Ebay Sign in, (large red button on home page) and got the usual lock.
Then I went back out and tried each again and got the same message on the Welcome to Ebay page sign in but not with the sign in link near the logo? huh?.....don't want to sign in until I find out what it is......does anybody know?
-
Could you take a screen shot of the problem page? Perhaps there's a dodgy advertisement. (I don't receive that message, and I've already signed in and added something to my Watch list, so whatever this error is, it's clearly not a consistent problem for each user.)
-
I signed in when I got the padlock without the message, but this is the second time it's happened.
It might be something to do with verisign.

Me thinks it's yet ANOTHER world-famous eBay Glitch.
-
It could be time for another parody... The Glitches of Eastwick.
But that does remind me that Minties Python is still not finished. Ah well, I haven't really had the time lately...
-
I have half a packet of Minties left. I will save them ;D
-
Not this thread again.......
And to see how I got whacked on the Thread Killers thread, there's no justice here. But it's still a better-good time more than the [] !!!
Cupie: Yer problem is not obvious. There are no obvious solutions.
Maybe if yer became UN-obvious, you'd have better action? I dunno.
Sorry...

Tello, maybe it gets lost in translation of humor...but can you explain what the hell you're talking about....lol

Nope, sorry. Not now. Can't do it.
I trust that my Contemporaries will come to my rescue.
Cheers and Later....there's a Biker Rally going on here and now, and I'm in the Band.....
Breaktime is over...

Oh I see !!! Say no more !!! :rolleyes:
Anyone able to offer any real solutions to the problem?

I don't know what is happening with regard to the warnings re encryption you see ,cupie, but although I am always told I am on a safe ,encrypted page (and the verisign gives no indication of any problem) when I go into CS I often have a crash report from firefox mozilla. My firefox is the latest etc... It is annoying and not the same as your problem.
I go into eBay through my bookmarks.
-
There is certainly some odd thing occurring! Hope someone can clear it up.
I have been told (a couple of times in the last months )I am not on a safe page although I have had no indication of that until I have gone to the Discussion Boards.
I always run all security and all updates are updated for everything. Trend Micro Pro is always running and has picked up nothing except cookies, low (medium occasionally) level threats to quarantine/delete. Spybot nothing.
I may see what I get with IE7. Not installing IE8 yet. I have no problems other than eBay as I said. Verisign is always "happy".
-
Ok I am scratching my head on this one, is it a possibility that it could be your protection software? Go in and take a look, see if anything looks unusual there or if the settings are not as they should be, check your 'safe sites", I'll look into this further and hopefully come up with some more info.
There is some interesting reading on encryption here scroll down for firefox relevant material-

thanks centuries and Lisa, I wouldn't know what to look for in my protection software anyway...but it only happens with Ebay lately...no other site....as I said it's the cookies that are interesting, cause when I remove them and go back to Ebay, the problem isn't there anymore.
I'll take a look at that site link and see what I can find out.
Thanks
-
Thank you from me too. :rose:

Wasn't technology invented to make our lives simple?
---->>> LIED-TO AGAIN!!! <----
-
Technology is great....until you leave the safe haven of having Techs on call. Then it becomes scary if nobody home at the time they are needed ;D
Now, do I press 'Next' ?? rolleyes: Hmmmm! Maybe I will tick everything.....Whaaaat! :oops:
Do they publish "Computers for Dummy Dummies?" :crazy:
-
Cupie, the problem you've described may be due to some items being called or linked or referred to by a direct path rather than a relative path, or being called or linked or referred to from an insecure area. This sometimes happens with poor coding. It doesn't necessarily mean that the site is insecure, but it does mean, as I said, poor coding - and obviously it gives a bad impression.
I remember something similar happening on a site on which I once worked. It took me hours to identify the suspect reference.

Nothing personal, but.....
