MajorNelson is the public face of the Xbox 360 department. He's some big-wig behind the Xbox and blogs about how great it is.

Transparency is improving, but at times it feels contrived.

Anyway, check your certificate store for the CA for MajorNelson.com. Are you using IE or FF?

Well it was FF and IE at work but at home all is well. It's just that cert warnings from either IE or FF are not very helpfull at all. They say this is unknown but don't really help anyone know what is what. Having just read all manner of articles on DNS corruption and other net tricks used by the scums in black hats and admittidly being a bit out of the security comfort zone I was surprised. Given that all was well enough just 1 hr earlier. (I frequent channel 9 during the day)

It's one of the icons on the bar at the top of the page (the community bar).

It's weird, though:  the only reference I see to MajorNelson.com is the favicon for the communities bar, and it's being delivered over regular HTTP, so that shouldn't be giving you a certificate error.  If I visit https://www.majornelson.com/, I don't get a certificate error either.

How do we block the community bar? I remember seeing a post about blocking it by editing the hosts file...they said C9 loads a lot faster.


Or just use adBlock.

You'll want to block the wildcard: "*mscommunities.*js"

Dang, thanks for the fast reply W3bbo. I will try out this adblock plugin. Thank you.


AdBlock Plus is more popular than the original vanilla AdBlock, but I prefer the original as it's simpler and more lightweight.
