SSL linking from squarespace to createaforum
DIR By: abdocs4admin

---------------------------------------------------------
I have a website that leads to the forum. The website offers a
much needed conduit that takes people through to the forums.
Unfortunately, we are running into a situation where jumping
from the squarespace website to the createaforum forum leads to
security alerts. The population I am working with is not very
tech savvy and also incredibly paranoid of online attack. So,
the current situation will not fly with them. I am also not
very tech savvy so I am at a loss. I presume this has to do
with SSL but, being tech illiterate, I don't actually know what
that means. Is there a simple work around for this?
Cheers, and thanks in advance
John

Are you using a custom domain here? If so that requires the SSL
upgrade under upgrades or the domain manager.
Other option is to park your custom domain to cloudflare and use
their ssl.
*.createaforum.com sites have SSL by default

Thank you for your response.
I am not using any custom domains. I am simply trying to
redirect people from a squarespace website to the
***.createaforum.com website.
That said, I guess my squarespace website might be a custom
domain. The website for the front end is abdocs4patients.ca
which is behind a password. Once people have agreed that they
want to go to the forum they are directed to
abdocs4patients.createaforum.com. However, when that link is
clicked, people are warned that the website might be trying to
steal their information. I believe this issue first appeared
when I switched the forum from low security (no need to log in
to view boards) to higher security (needing to register in the
forum to even see any posts).
I hope something I have said here helps you help me.
I am also engaging some of my colleagues who may be more skilled
and knowledgeable about this stuff to help figure this out.
Thanks for any assistance you feel you can still offer.
Cheers
John

Are you using the https link?
HTML https://abdocs4patients.createaforum.com/
If so can you take a screenshot of the message

I can verify that we are using the the HTTPS address as you
describe.
Cut and pasted from the address bar:
"
HTML https://abdocs4patients.createaforum.com/"
A screen shot that was offered to me from one of my colleagues
trying to use the forums:

Again, I want to say I am really thankful you are willing to
grind through to a solution with me on this

I will further add that I noticed that on my computer, if I go
at this link transfer from squarespace www.abdocs4patients.ca
website to the abdocs4patients.createaforum.com in chrome it
seems to not show an error message, but if I try this with
safari then I also get the error message:
"This website may be impersonating
"www.abdocs4patients.createaforum.com" to steal your personal or
financial information. You should go back to the previous
page".
I can pull up particulars on the certificate but its a real pain
to deliver it to this thread. I suspect somehow i may have
given you the info you need by simply noting safari doesn't work
and chrome does...but if you need the certificate details I will
type them all out quite willingly and happily.

This worked. Thank you. It is all working like a charm now.
If I might ask one more question: what is the limit size for
members on a forum? While we will likely only be a few hundred
to start with, there is a chance our numbers could swell to
10,000. I imagine there is an option to upgrade to more
capacity?

There is no member or post limit.
Only main limits are attachments, gallery picture space which
you can upgrade.
