I have to reload the page to view the description/images etc tabs and the 'download' tab returns the same error or simply displays an 'E' where there would otherwise be text/mirror links. 'Download Manually' button returns the red error box. This is in the XCOM:EU/EW subset.


try typing "https://" in front of the address line and reload

All forum pages are suddenly showing up as plain text for me with images, but none of the style or any other formatting.

Using firefox without any addons enabled for the nexus.

 

If you are using chrome you may see a grey shield on the right side of the search/url field/box when u are using https in the forums.

Throws Deathclaws and Dragons off your trail...

...it also makes whatever information you're sending (say, CC info) unreadable to everyone except for the server you are sending the information to. This protects it from hackers and identity thieves. And NPCs.

done properly, it encrypts all web traffic to/from the site. that means no-one watching your connection should be able to tell what you're up/down-loading or looking at on that site.

Suddenly none of the preview movies for any of my voicepack pages are loading. They're linked from YouTube.

For example:

https://www.nexusmods.com/xcom2/mods/535

I use Firefox. Cheers, I know you guys'll sort it out :)


Yeah it's due to having mixed SSL and non-SSL content on the page. The specific error I see in the network stack is:

'http://www.youtube.com/embed/0SSnacWFyd8'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.
