Image/Thumbnail Problems: FA Images will Not Load... Security Certificate Error?

S

The essence of the problem seems to be Chrome isn't loading certificates with the root-authority included. I'm having the same problem with Twitter in Chrome as well as FA.

I've tried the fix linked to by ShiningLion, but it doesn't seem to be working properly for me. (I'm not getting the security warning when importing the certificate, and images remain unloaded on restarting the browser, even though the intermediary cert is apparently loaded. Maybe because I'm trying to export from FF rather than IE?)

It's a problem with Chrome, not FA. The fix is to manually force Chrome to accept the certificate by exporting it as a file in one browser, then importing it in Chrome's options. I just can't get it to work.

A very temporary fix (will be reset when opening Chrome again) is to try to load one of the broken images directly with the "download" link, and it'll show you the "proceed anyway" screen. Going back to FA then will show images loaded.

FA itself is unencypted. User icons are HTTPS on furaffinity.net and submissions/thumbnails are HTTPS on facdn.net.

In FireFox the certificate shows a hierarchy of "GeoTrust Global CA" > "RapidSSL CA" > "*.facdn.net"
In Chrome the certificate only shows "RapidSSL CA" > "*.facdn.net".
Chrome can't validate it because the primary level of the hierarchy is missing.

So in other words your saying this isn't a problem that will EVER be addressed, and if your use Chrome to surf FA you SOL? How is the fact that this isn't a issue with IE, Firefox or Opera solve the problem with Google Chrome? and Clear your SSL? really, "turn it off and back on" is the solution? I'm sorry but is there useful advice? Can I actually do something other than wait for software updates?

The issue is that you have the expired certificate cached. Im not aware of the way to clear the SSL session cache in Chrome. Hence what I said.

Or apparently this:

the phrase "it's an issue with Chrome FA can't fix it" would have been nice. I fixed it by using IE to import the certificates since Chrome can't do it

I have restarted, it doesn't work. Pictures appear only sporatically, more often they don't appear at all. The problem also occurs on Firefox.

Advice?

the problem persists and I expect will continue to do so until Chrome updates or if Furaffinty uses a different security certificate. Unless of course someone found a different solution as forcing the computer to download the security certificates doesn't last.

the problem seems to have gone away not (1:00 AM on the 5th) hopefully it really is gone now, but it might just be sporadic now, we shall see...

Edit:
And it was fine for about and hour, then broke again.

What is the exact browser and version you are using?

I'm having this issue with Google Chrome, I am using Windows XP, I've currently have only the MOST BASIC of IE installed on the system, which is the intergrated copy, because I'm unable to upgrade.

This issue did not happen at all for quite awhile, and I've ran a few checks here and there to attempt to make sure- how to get around it. One way was, for me. Was right clicking the failed load image, and copy image url, then going to it, and 'saying yes' when warned. It accepted the pictures, but not all of them. It seems however, that it does reset. I'm not sure how to clear SSL cache, but I've got a pretty ugly looking SSL screen, considering I am windows XP and all.

Mind you I don't have the luxury to upgrade- any person who comes around to force that down my throat shouldn't really be talking.

Although I will see if - I myself can come up with any solutions, considering this is- kind of annoying for me. Chrome relies heavily on the settings IE/Windows, unlike Firefox which has a lot of it's own setups//settings which are less dependent on the system. (Or so it seems.)

Ive always found chrome to be a bit annoying.

And honestly all I can think of is "you have expired certificates in your certificate store" but I have no idea where that is in Chrome.

Hey at least Im not saying "In order to continue troubleshooting ... I need a HTTPWatch trace of the page in question loading."

I'm haveing the same issue with fire fox, I can upload photos but, it says "image not found" where the image should be. I'm new to fa so I'm not sure what I should do.
