We're having Video Embedding Problems, as well? Ouch! :( ~D. V. "definitely would help to have that fixed too" Devnull

Description: When viewing the Tip.It Community Forums in Secure Mode (HTTPS) with the 'Deflection' Theme active, the "Tip.It Community" Blue Header Banner is being Force-Loaded in Non-Secure Mode (HTTP), which causes Browsers to not fully consider the Forums to be Secured. Reproduction Rate: 100% -- This is ALWAYS REPRODUCIBLE!!! Steps To Reproduce: Head to any page on 'forum.tip.it' with Secure Mode (HTTPS) requested. ("https://forum.tip.it" will do, in order to test this quickly.) Go to the Bottom of the Page. Click on "Change Theme" Select "Deflection" from the available list of choices. Address Bar will no longer fully register the 'Tip.It Forums' site as being in Secure Mode (HTTPS), all because of the blue "Tip.It Community" Header Banner being Force-Loaded in Non-Secure Mode (HTTP).What should NOT happen: Forums acting Non-Secure (HTTP) in the Address Bar when Secure Mode (HTTPS) is being requested by the visitor. What SHOULD be happening: Forums registering as being in Secure Mode (HTTPS) on the Address Bar when the visitor requests it. Comments: I did happen to pin down the offending chunk of generated page code on the "Deflection" Forum Theme. Here's what it reads... <img src='http://forum.tip.it/public/style_images/17_14_tipitcommunitylogo-deflection.png' alt='Logo' /> ...so you can quickly fix this small-but-annoying bug. Having this same issue on another site recently caused this one to come to my attention. Well, that, and the fact that apparently Google has started cracking down on Non-Secure site accesses in their Chrome browser. I unfortunately heard about that one third-hand, to which I ran a web search and tracked down proof at https://www.wearegecko.co.uk/blog/security-dangers-of-http/. I might be on FireFox myself currently, and therefore the disruption in my view is smaller, but I would not want these forums to get avoided because of Google's active shaming of Non-HTTPS usage. :o ~Mr. D. V. "I'm a natural 'Bug Magnet'... At least I'm trying to do something positive with it..." Devnull (P.S.: You might be wondering... "Why's this nut using such a full-format bug reporting style?" ...to which you can thank another, totally different website for that one. It will probably take a while before this reporting style bleeds back out of my mind, if it ever does.) (P.P.S.: By the way, why isn't there a "Bug Report" or "Forums" tag for selecting? It really would have been useful here!)

Well, heck... I just found a damn bug. It's linked to this... <img src='http://forum.tip.it/public/style_images/17_14_tipitcommunitylogo-deflection.png' alt='Logo' /> ...as it appears that the Banner Image for the Deflection Theme is far too hardwired. Right now, even though I should be seeing Secure Mode (https), the browser is warning me that the image was loaded in Non-Secure Mode (http), and therefore won't show the nice blue thingy in my address bar. I guess I need to go file a Bug Report? :( 1118 ~Mr. D. V. "Why the hell am I the one that is ALWAYS a 'Bug Magnet'?!?!?" Devnull

Yeah, it would be funny if I landed on the "Small Straight"... :P 1116 Also, I just switched to the "Deflection" forum theme. I think I'll use this for a while. :smile: ~D. V. "Finally got tired of 'Blue-in-the-Face' all the time..." Devnull

That's one of the ones I won't touch again. The second is "Dead Frontier". "MechWarrior Online" made number three. And they all fell afoul of the same big mistake in differing ways, of which I'll repeat the note below... ...and further note that it takes a pretty deep threshold being reached in order to cause me to leave. RS, DF, and MWO all managed to reach that threshold in rather nasty manners. Allowing myself to be victimized again by something I've left permanently is not an option on the table. -.- And we're at the start of the next page, it seems... grr... 21400 ~D. V. "Probably more I could say, but I don't want it getting spread across the web." Devnull

1114 So many numbers... :mellow: ~D. V. "120 to go..." Devnull

I'm guessing that's only true on 64-bit systems? I don't think anyone could legally reach that, even in the entire time anyone has been playing, and even if everyone took all their GP and put it together. :( Now for a number... 13 ~D. V. "Yeah, that number sounds 'out-of-the-ballpark'..." Devnull

21402 That awful company, Piranha Games Inc., finally blew it. They did a number of things that I warned them not to do, and now they've permanently lost me (and likely many others) as a player of MechWarrior Online. To change things so it turns into "Call Of Duty Mechs", such as rendering sniper-class weapons more powerful versus things like Guidance-Assisted Long-Ranged Missiles, and then expect anyone who knows the effects in true total to stick around, was a total mistake on their part. So I am now free of them as well, my mind never to think about them beyond this forum thread page. -.- Unfortunately, this sends me back to 'Single-Player Land'... I've now quit three different MMOs, all because they completely destroyed any and all work I had ever done, up-ended the combat and equipping systems, and flipped off a fair share of their community. I'll be wary of ever trying another, specifically because I won't let a fourth instance of this happen to me. Any next choice will be made certain of to never do things like this before I even touch them. Although, after taking this much abuse and being pushed past the limits of my flexibility three times now, I really just don't see the point anymore. <_< ~Mr. D. V. "A complete victim of Corporations and Bad MMO Construction..." Devnull

32-bit barrier, eh? :huh: How about 9223372036854775807? :P ~D. V. "64-bit barrier for you..." Devnull

21404 ~D. V. Devnull

1112 ~D. V. Devnull

21411 Done... and learned the cold truth... Just go check :arrow: https://forum.tip.it/topic/333786-new-admin-arceus/ for the answer. Now thinking (at least for the last three days) of ejecting myself off of these Rune Tips Forums. I've let something become too linked to me and my posting, and it's a little hard to kill what's ended up becoming a natural habit. -.- ~D. V. "Time will tell what I do next..." Devnull

1110 -- By the way, that's NOT binary. :geek: Congratulations! Have fun, keep that new computer in good health, and enjoy! :D ~D. V. "Good stuff abounds... Rock on!" Devnull

21413 ~D. V. Devnull

Or it could be due to all manner of weird and absurd things a certain forum member does to them should they make a mistake. I guess we might never know. :-k But... but... I was supposed to keep the number on track in a couple of threads! And there was mention, including from opening posters, who wanted me to make an abusively funny thing of an error! *facewall* :wall: I guess if following a request like that is going to kill the fun and cause people to leave... <*walks out the thread's door, pulls out a gun, and shoots themself in the head*> :-# ~D. V. "Again, congratulations on becoming an Admin..." Devnull

It was more than there... Have you forgotten "Star Trek: The Next Generation"? Heck, let's add "Star Trek: Enterprise" to that. :o And since we need a number... 9001 :P ~Mr. D. V. "It's over 9000!" Devnull

21417 Anybody think we'll ever see @Arceus down in the Forum Games again, now that they're a Full-Fledged Administrator? :( ~D. V. "Seeing the Forum Games get more and more empty..." Devnull

21419 Glad to see your internet is back up and running again. :) I hope you get better sleep soon. Insomnia isn't any fun. :blink: ~D. V. "No Internet = Ouch" Devnull

0000010001010000b = 1104 ~D. V. "Doing more binary conversions..." Devnull

Eh... Why doesn't that look right? :o Ah, let's try this... Yeah, that looks right! Much better. Can't blame you for being tired enough to typo, but I got really confused. :D 21421 I believe the next page is in order? :P ~D. V. "Fixed that for you..." Devnull

Banned for not realizing that if you brought my name up in the RuneScape areas of these Rune Tips Forums, you would probably find that many people go "Who the heck is that?" because they simply don't know I even exist. A statement like what you've made is simply not the case. :geek: ~Mr. D. V. "I never really made that big an impact... Not like actually famous people such as 'Zezima'..." Devnull

1102 I wonder what this looks like in Binary? <*grabs a calculator and converts it*> :-k "0000010001001110" <*stares at it for a moment*> Yeah, sounds like the starting accentuation of speech in 'Stand-Up Comedy'... :blink: ~D. V. "It could sound like something else, but I don't know." Devnull

Yeah, I don't need a website to do a partially-unused natural function of my brain. :P Which, we do need a number here, don't we? :-k 8472 :shades: ~D. V. "And if you get the reference... well..." Devnull

3 * 37 * 193 = 21423 :mellow: ~D. V. "Blank in the face, and doing math..." Devnull

I wondered why @Arceus had disappeared from the Forum Games. It's been getting more and more quiet down there lately, almost to the point of depressing. :-k Now I know. Congratulations on rising to the top, @Arceus! :thumbsup: ~D. V. "I'm glad to see the good work gets the rewards somewhere." Devnull
