Site bug?

If i am not logged in when reading articles on the home page and then want to use the login control at the bottom of the article so that I can comment when i have entered my username and password and click the login button i then always get an error through up which means I have to re navigate back to the article and then comment, although it has actually logged me in.

Error message below:

Invalid Redirect URL (http://www.hexus.net/business/news/g...-now-tv-menus/)

Happens on all articles though.

Hi. When you are on the site and this happens are you using HTTPS? If not try to use the site using HTTPS https://hexus.net/ and see if the issue still persists. :hexlub:

You need to reset your short cuts to https://www.hexus.net

The site went to SSL some months ago.

Oh maybe that is exactly the issue then.

I usually just type hexus.net into the address bar on chrome and it just takes me there. (Dont have a favourite or anything)

Does that mean its just doing a search of the web or using something from my browsing history?

It could be picking it up from your browsing history. You could try clearing that entry, or type in the full address and it may remember it.

As hexus.net looks like a domain name Chrome will just be looking up the domain, finding it, and going to the site you've asked for. http is the default protocol for accessing a website, so it trys that first.

There are a few ways to "force" Chrome to try https first (or to always use https when browsing, although be aware that might break sites that don't support https), but they all require some fiddling with settings and may have side effects. A quick search should get you some starting points.

It's also possible to set up a server to redirect all http requests to https - don't know if that's something the Hexus tech crew are looking at or not?
