Re: how does server protocol work?
Thats only if you have a forum on SSL.
If you dont know what it is then ignore it.

Re: how does server protocol work?
i have enabled ssl in my domain. but it keeps stating that "warning: contains unauthenticated content"
Re: how does server protocol work?
If you don't know what you're doing, and if you don't really need SSL, then turn it off and leave the protocol for what it is.
Using SSL is not just turning a switch to ON. you need a certificate and more of that crap.

Re: how does server protocol work?
i have turned on SSL and I have a certificate. when im in ACP, all the pages are secured, i can see it in the address bar and at the bottom of the browser, but when im in the forum, it says the "warning: contains unauthenticated content" now im asking why is this so?

'It' as in phpBB or your browser?
If its your browser then it could be a image loading from the http:// version.
Re: how does server protocol work?
what do you mean http:// version? yes its in the browser. I use firefox and when im in acp the address bar has a color yellow and there is a lock icon at the lower right corner of the browser. but when im browsing the forum, sometimes if the forum is still loading, the address bar is in yellow but when the entire page loads, its no longer in yellow and the lock icon has a strike through meaning its not secured anymore. any ideas?

http:// is unencrypted
https:// is encrypted (ssl)

This can be related to a users avatar, which is loaded from a different server via http:// (unencrypted), for example. Or a [IMG] in a post.
Re: how does server protocol work?
thanks! i can say that its the [img] bbcode who is the culprit. case closed.
cheers!

Yep with SSL everything the browser loads has to be encrypted.
Thats why its best not to run a forum under SSL unless absolutely nessasary.
