Website and Forum Problems

[Administrator]

Due to problems transitioning to a new website hosting provider the IFRC website was down for about one week and the forum was not working. We are not alone in experiencing problems with the new website hosting company. A google search shows that the transition has been a disaster for many customers. I'm working on fixing the remaining website and forum problems and will update this thread when I have anything new to report. Some recent posts are missing. I'll try to recover the missing posts but that may not be possible.

I have a 59 Skyliner that I need to register and insure but I need to locate the VIN on the car.. Can anyone tell me where to look for this. Thanks anyone.

Take a look in the forward portion of the left door-jam. Should be a rectangular plate riveted there I believe.

Hello, am I the only one who can see this forum in a text mode only, without any graphics?
Did I accidentaly changed something in the settings or is the forum currently "broken"?
Please advise.
I used to see it normal in the past.

Which browser are you using? From my testing with Firefox the initial page is text only, but after signing on the graphics are as normal. With Micorsoft Edge the graphics are as normal on signon and after signing on. With Chrome the initial page is text only, and it remains text only even after signing on. I don't typically use Chrome so I don't know if something with Chrome has recently changed. Can you try Firefox or Microsoft Edge and see if that works for you?

Thank you for your answer. I am using Chrome, but I have also tried Edge (both in the latest versions) and had the same result - only text, before and after signing on.


Update: I have installed Firefox and it works as you described. Nevertheless, Edge and Chrome is still not working.

I am unable to use this site using Chrome on my Windows 10 PC, or my Chromebook. After I sign in I get a list of directories that are non functional. I am wring this message on my Windows 7 computer using Chrome.

So I installed Firefox on my Windows 10 computer and I still get a list of non functional directories after signing in. So it doesn't work for me on Firefox, Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Also it doesn't work on my Iphone anymore using Safari. I am entering this message on my old Windows 7 computer using Chrome. Can you help?

I finally figured this out. The version of the forum software we are running is trying to load software from yahoo that is used to format pages from an http: rather than an https: address and Chrome, Firefox, and Edge are all blocking this content by default. To change the setting for all three browsers you need to be on the forum homepage to start.

You can allow the content in Firefox by clicking the padlock in the address bar and clicking Connection secure and clicking Disable protection for now. For Firefox this setting must be changed every time you visit the forum.

For Chrome you can allow the content by clicking the Not secure notice in the address bar and clicking Site Settings. Next change the setting in Privacy and Security for Insecure Content to Allow, close the Settings tab and click the Reload button to update the settings for this site. For Chrome the setting to allow Insecure Content only has to be set once and it will stay that way.

For Microsoft Edge click the Not secure notice in the address bar and click Permissions for this site and change the Insecure content setting to Allow for skyliner.org. The setting to allow Insecure content for Edge only has to be set once and it will stay that way.

Details about mixed content can be found here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mixed-content-blocking-firefox.

Since the content being blocked is from Yahoo it should be safe to allow it to load.
