Wrong certificate warning

Scribe — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 09:37:06 GMT

Here's a strange thing - if I click on 'service status' at the bottom of the 'member centre' page, I get a 'wrong certificate warning,' however, if I go to the service status page via 'help and support' it's okay! It isn't a problem, but it looks like something might need a bit of tweaking!

I don't seem to get that wherever I click it from.

Double check the time and date on your PC - incorrectly set this can throw up certificate errors.

No, not the clock or date, but on further investigation I think it's browser related. It shows up on Opera and Maxthon - 'Invalid certificate l.addthiscdn.com,' but seems to be okay on Firefox and Explorer. I don't know how long it's been like that though, 'cos connection is so good I hardly ever have any need to look at that page!!!

I found where it's ended up in Firefox: in Tools -> Web Developer -> Error Console (presumably because it's from a bit of javascript)
[quote author="Error Console"]l.addthiscdn.com:443 uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for the following names:
*.addthisedge.com , addthisedge.com , *.addthis.com , addthis.com
(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)
