You know, I’ve got to ask, what on EARTH is all the fuss about … ?
No, really … ?
You see, what with one thing and another, there’s a lot of talk about online security, and about HTTPS versus HTTP.
Just in case you DIDN’T know, the former is a somewhat more secure version of the latter, and used by both Twitter and Facebook to improve their users online security.
Or partially used by Facebook, I should add.
You see, a lot of the time, when you use many of the games on FB, it’ll ask you if you want to switch off secure browsing.
You have to, in fact, to use the games concerned.
That’s not an out-and-out criticism, I should add: but it IS fiddly.
Especially when you consider that the secure browsing feature isn’t automatically turned back on, once you’ve finished playing the game.
There’s a work around, though.
Or a couple, I should add.
First off … ?
Logging OUT of Facebook, quitting your browser, then re-strarting it, and logging back in.
Those of us using a desktop or laptop can do it the easy way, of course.
Just go to the URL bar at the top of the browser windo. And in-between the ‘http’ and the ‘:’, type the letter ‘s’.
And press ‘Enter’, or the ‘Reload’ key combo.
There.
Wasn’t that easy … ?
I’m just hoping you notice the new Favicon for Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar, while you’re there …

Post a Comment
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
