Before Monk moved to the new software (which is great) there was the same issue at his Forum. One had to add (or delete...I can't remember) an 's' to get a YouTube video to connect there.

Now...it is a breeze. Just post the URL and the software puts up the video. Magic.

Re: possible site downtime and lost posts Reply #62 - Feb 7^th, 2021 at 7:05pm There is some issue with redirects on the polanimal wiki that I cannot figure out. I also cannot add any redirects to the polanimal forum because then I get the same "too many redirects" error.

Good thinking! They are all http as in order for them to show we have always had to take the s out of https before posting. So I guess they're all lost.

EDIT: Apparently people using Firefox can see them but not those using Chrome.

I can't let them know. I've told those I am in contact with outside PA but I can't notify the others if they can't access the site.

OK, found the issue for Youtube not displaying.

For Edge you need to go to settings and for secure sites, you need to allow insecure content on Ozpol.

Screenshot below to help. Also you need to add https://www.polanimal.com/ for those using PA.

I assume the same for Chrome since they are built on the same technology.

FD you changed it back. OK, it appears my approach changes the site to be insecure when I view Youtube, that is, when I view insecure content. No issue. This works.

The best fix is a permanent redirection on the web server.

OK, let me know when done, I will retest with the exceptions removed.

Re: possible site downtime and lost posts Reply #73 - Feb 8^th, 2021 at 6:30pm How do you tell if the permanent redirection is on? I have sorted out the redirects on the PA forum and wiki, so they are all working. If I enter a URL without the s, it automatically redirects to the secure URL.
