What is with the security cert on the website?!


Pathfinder Online


seriously, getting that pop up from windows with the red stop light and sheild saying theres a problem with the website's security cert is annoying, and seeing the web address in deep red every time I turn a page would be frightining if I didnt know anything about the internets.

Goblinworks or Paizo? If it's paizo then that's not Ryan's department, if its the GW site, use the search I'm pretty sure this has been brought up a few times.

Also windows is a bit paranoid.

For reference once again, here is what I think is going on. The security certification of the GW website is from paizo.com, which is a different domain name. This raises a red flag and causes your computer to react. As long as you continue to use the same browser with the same settings and the GW website uses Paizo's security certificate, you will continue to see this message.

That being the case, may I suggest Chrome? I've never had any problems with the GW site.

Vic has looked into this a couple of times. The answer is unsatisfactory. So far, it seems that there may be client cache issues, or client browser security setting issues, or there may be interference from Old Gods from Beyond Space and Time.

The problem will go away permanently when Goblinworks launches a stand-alone website.


I get this very frequently on paizo (this site). I've encountered this using chrome, firefox, 2 different macbook pro's, an iMac and an old dell running windows. Always freaked me out a little but it's been happening as long as I've been shopping on Paizo, I just got used to it.

Just FYI, the Goblinworks cert is from Goblinworks, not Paizo.


Yeah, sorry, I saw this thread pop up in the sidebar and just chimed in without fully realizing this thread was about a pathfinder online/goblinworks issue. I've never visited the Goblinworks site.


yes, its the goblin works site.

any idea when that website would go up? there are good web designers that can cut and paste an awesome looking template site in about 15 minutes...
