Hello!
I just registered a new forums account, user name = "CraigG58". When I receive the verification email and click the link within, I receive the following message using Chrome:
“This site can’t provide a secure connection
forums.mozillazine.org sent an invalid response.
Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR”
I’ve tried changing Chrome site setting “Insecure content” to “Allow”, with no joy.
When I try the same URL using Firefox, I receive:
"Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to forums.mozillazine.org:80. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.”
Server problem, or is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Account activation fails
Hi,
I think there was a recent thread on the subject.
If you remove the > :80 from the URL & only use http:// & not https:// it should allow access.
Not really sure if I remember it correctly.
You might want to try a search for similar threads/topics.
ps. There's nothing changed or incorrect re; your "CraigG58" log in credentials.
Should be fine.

Re: Account activation fails
There was no port (80) at the end of the URL in the activation email, but after changing "https" to "http" it worked fine.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
