Hi all,

I keep getting a pop up entitled security alert, lists about 5 items, four of them get a green tick, one shows an exclamation mark. This one reads......"The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site."

I can't get it to stay away, it's only happening on P/H.

Is this an error at your end or mine?

Thanks

Windows 10, I.E. 11

I've had to migrate to an android tablet to write this.

The "security alert" pop up makes P/H totally unusable. As soon as you try to click it away it's replaced by another one. If you leave it it just produces one after another.

The only way out is to open task manager and kill I.E.

Any ideas?

Back on android to write this, it's happening on various pages. Usually behaves for 10 to 15 seconds then starts the security alert pop up. Closing the pop up just generates another one. This continues ad infinitum. If i don't close it it just keeps adding more pop ups.

N.B. I can't put in an URL because the pop up overrides everything else, and because it keeps reoccurring i can't get to the page to copy the link.

Could you try going to https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing and then use the site normally, to see if you still have issues?

Thanks
Bookmark is, and always has been, set to pistonheads.com/gassing

Currently running ok.

Hi guys, looks like it's happening again.

Knowing how advertising helps pay for the site I'm loathed to install an ad blocker, but if it continues it looks like it's the only option.
