Why is sedo not a secure site?

**Michelle** · 08-16-2005, 04:47 AM

Every time I logged onto my account I get the following message:

You are about to be redirected to a connection that is not secure.

The information you are sending to the current site might be retransmitted to a non secure site. Do you wish to continue?

Im very confused

Xyzer · 08-16-2005, 05:31 AM

lol, That doesnt sound good, i dont like sedo, so i dont use it.

**Michelle** · 08-16-2005, 05:35 AM

Never had the message when I joined a few weeks back. It has only started the last couple of days but find it very worrying

upbeat · 08-16-2005, 05:55 AM

I've been with sedo for a couple of years and just started seeing those messages.

The message is not very reassuring

tipsfromthetop · 08-16-2005, 06:12 AM

Yep ive been with sedo a couple of years and i see them messags now especially on the check offers page.

Xyzer · 08-16-2005, 06:15 AM

It doesnt look promising, do they have email support or anything?

**Michelle** · 08-16-2005, 06:24 AM

I have just emailed them with my concerns so will let you know what they say

tipsfromthetop · 08-16-2005, 06:25 AM

Sent two emails to jay@ and support@ since last tuesday i have had no reply. This in its self is very odd normally they reply very quickly. Also traffic is not being recorded one of my domains has regular 300 uniques over the months and this month not 1?? yep when i check it last week it seemed the traffic had been reset on it. I will give it to the end of the week then i will be moving the domains i hold on sedo to another parking program. It is a shame cause with fabulous my main parking home, sedo was a good back up for the domains they do not take.

Xyzer · 08-16-2005, 06:33 AM

good idea, maybe they will say its bad, then i bet youll leave them.

**Michelle** · 08-16-2005, 06:35 AM

Yep must agree things are very strange there at the moment. The most wanted, most viewed list and my names are not updating, things dont look good

Xyzer · 08-16-2005, 06:54 AM

dont use it until an explanation is given, thats whats wise.

Hi All,

Sedo now has two login options, the standard login option and SSL login. Both are accessible from the normal login box. Of course even when logging in using the standard login, personal information is always viewed over a secure site.

If you have any questions or comments about this please PM or email me (mara@sedo.com).

Best,
Mara

Hi thanks so much for taking time to reply but could you also explain why the lists, views and click are not updating at the mo?

Midano · 08-16-2005, 09:44 AM

If you guys are referring to "This page contains both secure and non-secure items. Do you want to display the non-secure items?", then that's normal.
Let me explain. When you login and go into your control panel pages, they're viewed through SSL (https://). However, if the page contains an piece pulled from elsewhere (third-party banner image, iFrame, etc.) that is non-SSL (http://), then it shows this warning. Your pages are still secure nevertheless.

I can understand that but why have the messages just started?? also on the main page the most wanted and most traffic list are not updating??

Sure it is just a blip and will get sorted

Sedo · 08-16-2005, 10:22 AM

Thanks for help with the explanation Midano. The notices started appearing recently when we made updates to our site's security to ensure all personal data continues to remain secure.

I have also let our tech team know about the stats issue, hopefully we'll have this resolved soon.

Best,
Mara
