Coffeecup Forums Mixed Mode

Hi, I noticed that the Coffeecup forums are mixed-mode. Once the user has logged on with his userid and password, IE 8 will issue this message:

"Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?"

Button options are "more info, yes, and no". There is no checkbox for "do not ask me again." Most users will check "yes" because prior versions of IE used "yes" to indicate "yes, show me everything". But now it's different, and "no" is the button that should be selected if the reader wants to see all objects. He will undoubtedly select "yes" from time to time and receive an incomplete or erroneously displayed page.

Read the text of the message above once more, and you'll see what I mean.

This is a nuisance because it happens on every page in Coffeecup's very own forum (whenever you've logged on) until you go and change your Internet Explorer settings. We all have to deal with end-users from time to time, and we know that not every IE8 user will have even the slightest inkling on how to do this!

I believe that the correct thing to do here is to fix the Coffeecup forum to avoid using mixed-mode objects after people log on.

Here's a link to a site that describes the problem and how to fix it on your web site.

I've enabled mixed-mode viewing in my own IE8 preferences, but...that's not really a long-term correct solution, as noted by that same article and some of the reader comments that follow it.

I am convinced Scott never stops to sleep.

I have it on good authority that Scott is a cyborg. We all know cyborgs never sleep.

I don't know have you seen his pic, he's got that thug thing going on. Its like he is doing the man nod to the camera.

Alright, enough picking on Scott, he might be a thug, but he is the man in these forums.

Can I not leave the forums for like 2 hours and not have everyone pick on me! :) To, Bruzer, Spinny and Eric, I have your real post all addresses. Expect one of my "crew" to stop over soon ;)


I will check into the IE issue again. ;)
