Minor problems with features during HTTPS: connect.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Since switching to the https:// link instead of the old http:// one I've noticed odd behaviour when logging in through Firefox browser on a Linux PC. (Both are as updated as the 'official' repositories allow.)

The smiley links in the RH pane of the 'advanced reply' screen do not work consistently. Every so often I can mouse over and see the roll-over text but that's all. Clicking on them doesn't insert the relevant code into the body text.

The Thanks, Like, Pix Please & Thx 4 Pix buttons under posts in a thread also seem to suffer similar problems. The text highlights, but clicking accomplishes exactly nothing.

A few times I've needed to log out and re-log in under the old non-secure URL in order to be able to use these functions.

Just to complicate things, I don't believe it's all the time. I haven't taken note, but I'm pretty sure I've used these functions while posting during a secure connection without giving them a second thought; it's only when, out of the blue, they don't work that I remember them.

But I guess that's human nature...

I am using the site on Windows and the latest version of Firefox.

This isn't a complaint, hopefully useful feedback only - I cannot thank the team that run this site enough for making these forums available to us!

I have found that pictures opened in a new tab, without the usual previous-next-close controls. And as mentioned above, thanks and like etc don't appear to work.

I turned off the secure access (clicking the padlock icon in the address bar will reveal this option), and switched back to http (non secure). The above problems immediately were resolved.
