Let's just take a break from complaining and appreciate how you can do magical tricks using the Forums and resizing a window.

Today I will show you how to magically remove the green "Secure" from the Browser tab.

You're probably saying I use some scripting here to make this look interesting, though I will now show you how to do the same trick easily!

Before you try to attempt this magic trick, be sure you have the following items at hand:
  1. A Mouse will make the trick easier to pull off
  2. A Web Browser with any Freedom! Forums page open
  3. An internet connection
  4. Eyes
  5. A Koala
Be sure to follow the steps carefully as you do this:
  • Plug in the mouse
  • Drag the cursor of the mouse to the side edge of the Browser Window
  • Move it slowly towards the middle of the window.
It isn't hard, you can do it with some practice.

"But LW, when will i ever need this?"
Well you can show it to your daughter's/son's friends at a birthday party ensuring he/she will be ashamed to go to school the next day. Or you can take the Koala and show it what's happening.

Though when you show it to the Koala you can also tell it why that's happening! Isn't that amazing?
Here's how:
  • Open the site before doing your amazing magic trick
  • Press Ctrl+Shift+I
  • Drag the site together
  • Select "Sources" in the window that popped up from Ctrl+Shift+I
  • Select this:

  • Look at Lines 815 and 822 of that file
Yes, I know you don't know what I'm on about, so here are the lines:

Found it yet? No? Too bad. Read this, this and watch this. (If you read until here enjoy that video)

TLDR The mobile view breaks the page's security and throws up on Mixed Content warnings. Add a "s" to the banner image or host it locally plsty

Okay, this looks like a nerd rant just to complain though this genuinely annoyed me for months.
