Site problems, An Error Occurred

[Althalin]

When clicking a download button, a script requests this resource: "http://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/ajax/downloadwithnmm". Simply removing the "http:" part from that URL in the source code would make it work for both HTTP and HTTPS.

 

If you feel comfortable with the developer console (F12 on most browsers) you can circumvent this.

The "onclick" event for the "download with manager" option makes a call to

loadBox('http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/ajax/downloadwithnmm?id=1000251755');

Entering that in the console, either omitting the "http://" portion, or by changing it to "https://", will allow the download to proceed.

Hi, just wanted to say this is a really frustrating issue, and it is one that I, like others, have never encountered before today (and I've been using SSL and downloading from Nexus Mods with no problems for a few years). Thanks for the workaround, Althalin.

Yup, something on the site has definitely changed seeing as how many people started have the same issue at roughly the same time.

Same issue here, definitely new today. As others have said, disabling the https everywhere plugin logs me out and prevents me from logging back in.

I disabled https everywhere in chrome, and restarted the browser, I still get the same issue. Also Chrome doesn't let me replace the https with http. So I guess anybody using chrome can't download any mods right now.

This works great, anybody should be able to do it. Thanks!

I'm on the latest version of Chrome and I can browse the site absolutely fine via HTTP. It does not redirect to HTTPS for me. If it redirects to HTTPS for you then a plugin in your browser is forcing this to happen, and we cannot and do not control how plugins work in your browser, for obvious reasons.

 

In order to fix this you're going to need to find out why exactly your browser is trying to force SSL browsing of Nexus Mods.

Yeah, it's not a problem for me. I was just making a suggestion for a quick fix the developer(s) could deploy. I think it's good practice to always make URL:s protocol agnostic.

I can't download anything or edit messages since yesterday. Same error.

 

Tried disabling HTTPS everywhere but it makes no difference whatever.

So I tried turning off all Chrome extentions but to no avail. I am using MS Edge (Gah!!!) and things appear to be working fine. Perhaps an issue with Chrome itself? Very strange none the less.
