Ok working for me too!

How to know if its SHA1 or SHA2? i.e. by using view certificate option.

Earlier certificate chain was:
Certificate chain
0 s:/OU=Domain Control Validated/OU=PositiveSSL/CN=India Broadband Forum
i:/C=GB/ST=Greater Manchester/L=Salford/O=COMODO CA Limited/CN=COMODO RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA


Now its:
Certificate chain
0 s:/OU=Domain Control Validated/OU=PositiveSSL/CN=India Broadband Forum
i:/C=GB/ST=Greater Manchester/L=Salford/O=COMODO CA Limited/CN=COMODO RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA
1 s:/C=GB/ST=Greater Manchester/L=Salford/O=COMODO CA Limited/CN=COMODO RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA
i:/C=GB/ST=Greater Manchester/L=Salford/O=COMODO CA Limited/CN=COMODO RSA Certification Authority
2 s:/C=GB/ST=Greater Manchester/L=Salford/O=COMODO CA Limited/CN=COMODO RSA Certification Authority
i:/C=SE/O=AddTrust AB/OU=AddTrust External TTP Network/CN=AddTrust External CA Root
3 s:/C=SE/O=AddTrust AB/OU=AddTrust External TTP Network/CN=AddTrust External CA Root
i:/C=SE/O=AddTrust AB/OU=AddTrust External TTP Network/CN=AddTrust External CA Root

It shows sha256 for me in browser.

 

[Sushubh]

this used to be sha1 before the change.

Weird. Google wants everyone to move to SHA2 but its own certificate is SHA1?

For Google (in Firefox) is shows me: SHA-1 With RSA Encryption

Even Facebook showing same. i.e. SHA1 algorithm

 

[Sushubh]

Google would move to sha2 next year. They update their sha1 certificates every three months.

 

[amish]

Google has reason to continue to SHA1 because there are still old applications which use Google. So they may fail if they switch to SHA2.

But Facebook itself says they need latest browsers, what is stopping them from switching to SHA2?

 

[Sushubh]

Because Chrome is dumping sha1 by 2017... Everyone would be forced to update. Good move I guess.

Have you removed google custom search bar from the main page?

I seldom find anything via the Forum's search feature

 

[Sushubh]

I did because it was breaking the theme after an update was released. Would see if I can get it back. You can always create a custom search keyword in your browser which is what I use

 

[v1rus]

no idea about how to do that.

to lazy to figure out.

Do you mind a tutorial? I use FF (in case it matters)

And can you increase the number of recent threads that show up on the main page? 5 (i think) is too less.
