  • Secure connections are still an ongoing project for SE. They've explained this elsewhere. They're slowly working on it, so you can't expect everything to be working yet.

    Happens to me every time I click my "network profile" ink. IE9 on win 7. Not an https connection, but a yellow "blocked" bar about sites with invalid certificates.

  • Are there even certificates for the HTTP protocol? Seems pretty pointless...

    The Stack Exchange site does link to secure resources for both regular and secured connections (for some reason). Although simply clicking the "show whatever" button in the yellow box permanently cleared the issue for me. I think it's just IE saying "why are we loading secure things from a non-secure page?" Perhaps I got a different error.

    @Dennis, A page you navigate to via http may make references to other content using https.

  • @MichaelPetrotta: I see. JQuery and OpenID.

  • I get this in IE8 on one computer but not IE8 on another computer. Strange.

http://stackexchange.com no longer serves https content on http pages. Thanks for the report.
