Fix for wonky EQtraders site? using Firefox

    everything seems to be shifted to the left and it makes it difficult to see/read the menu.. I have most of it memorized, but it would be nice if it actually showed correctly, as I can't be the only one seeing this problem.

    It is a problem with Chrome and Edge too. :oops:

    I would also like the option of "folding" the recipes in/out again, it has been broken for awhile.

    I notified Ngreth already what the issue is.

    Basically there is a css file that isn't being served over https so any modern browser rejects that. If you go to that css file you can make the changes yourself in your browser or create a script with something like greasemonkey to fix it.

    Have seen this before but seems to be fixed on all versions of Firefox (and Nightly) I have access to. Most likely a badly behaving ad I have blocked?

    Correction: The "folding" functionality seems to work correctly now, it didn't a few weeks ago though. :)

    The overall site is still mis-aligned though....

    I have the most current version of FF out, and it's not fixed.
    And I've turned my adblocker off and on, it makes no difference.

    You can add HTTPS Everywhere extension to your browser to force insecure content to HTTPS.

    It actually looks like "http://www.eqtraders.com/" is fixed, while "https://www.eqtraders.com/" which is what "eqtraders.com" forwards to, is not.

    So manually omitting the "s" in "https", when you type the complete url, could be a temporary workaround.

    It works in Chrome at least. :)

    Jumber I tried clicking your http: link, FF auto-redirects to https, So I tried manually deleting the S, still nogo, it auto-redirects to the s version..

    Tried it, still getting
    [IMG]
    for the main page and
    [IMG]
    For other pages, this one happens to be the recipes by expansion page. and those pics are as far left on my screen as I can go, I cannot see any further left.

    I have cleared cache from FF also.

    In Chrome, the auto-direct to https is optional, and I had it disabled(its the default setting). Maybe FF is different?
    That said, my workaround would disable some security, and is probably not "best practice".

    Soulbanshee's solution works well in Chrome, and is probably a more secure solution, you can try the FF version of that plugin.
    Some googling gave my a FF version here: https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere

    Have it, still nogo.. cleared cache, still nogo.

    I use Palemoon browser and it works fine. FF is scrunched to the left and trying to force it to http instead of https doesn't work.
  15. Jumbur Improved Familiar

    In Chrome, the default setting for the plugin didn't work. I had to enable "Encrypt All Sites Eligible", before it worked for eqtraders.
  16. Elyssanda Bardbrain

    OMG That worked! thank you!

    This is what my bookmark has in it - http://www.eqtraders.com - that's why the site always looks fine when I go to it. :)
