[SOLVED] Unauthorized scripts on KFN?

[MadMage999]

While browsing KFN chrome shows a warning: "This page is trying to load scripts from unauthrized sources".

So far it's only this thread: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...-a-major-issue

Probably amounts to nothing, but just found it odd.

Emphasis added by me.

It isn't unauthorized; it's unauthenticated. Big difference.

We run our site (KFN) on https. Any pages that contain mixed http / https content could generate that message, but it would be coming from your browser. I don't see that message going to the URL you linked. I'm accessing KFN from my iMac using Safari.

Thanks. Seems like chrome is getting pickier and pickier anymore.

[Snowhog]

I'm thinking the message is coming from an add-on you have loaded in Chrome.

[MadMage999]

If that were the case, would vinnywright be getting the same message?

[GreyGeek]

He's using the same add-on?
I used chrome for a while to check it out but several days ago I deleted it because it is Google. While using it I never got any warnings while surfing this site. FF62 hasn't flagged anything. I tried several other browsers (Browse, Vivaldi, Tor, Konqueror, etc...) and they never posted any warnings of any kind on this forum.

I just installed Lynx and browsed this site, clumsy as Lynx is. No messages, but did get L8774-4828TMP.txt.gz as a file to open or download. I tried to open it with Ark but Ark said it wasn't a file type it recognized.

I'm not in any way suggesting the site is malicious. Far from it. If anything I might have suspected a user of embedding a malicious link in their signature or something along those lines before I suspected KFN.

Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it, but it was odd and if there were some hijinks going on I thought you should know. In any case I'm not concerned.

[Snowhog]

No problem in having mentioned it. After all, you did see it.

Message is coming from images people have in their signature that come from non-secure, third party sites. On this page, vinny's image comes from a non-https photobucket url. So...this is all vinny's fault.

[vinnywright]

dam , I'v been discovered
yes my sig pick is coming from an http photobucket link

no no extensions in my chrome pretty vanilla.

but yes I would tend to agree with @whatthefunk and it's just http links .

Hilarious. The stupidity of chromes security warnings in this present time. SMDH.
