Safari white box with blue question mark

One other thing ... when I try to go to theguardian.com, Safari displays a pop-up "Safari can't verify the identity of the website www.theguardian.com" etc. Doesn't happen with the BBC. This started at the same time as the blue question mark.

My Safari Preferences are the same as my partner's (even down to The Guardian being our home page) which makes the cause more difficult to pin down so I don't think you've changed an option which has caused the problem. I have very limited technical knowledge in this area, but in the true spirit of Change Management, what has changed? In my case, these problems started with Sierra.

Incidentally, did The Guardian reply to your email?

Hello Tinner

Apologies for the informality (given we've only just met), but no, the Guardian haven't yet replied.

I should have mentioned that I get the same certificate warning from the Guardian website too. I spent half an hour or sotrying to deal with that via keychain access I think, again to no avail. Interestingly, I read a rugby website called 'Planet Rugby' and in a thread on that forum on images I started to get the blue box yesterday too.

As you say, all seemingly linked to the timing of Sierra?

Sorry to be of no constructive help.

Hi abjorkie

Not adding anything to the discussion but good to know that other people have the same problem as me.

Since the OS update to 10.12.1 I've had this problem on Guardian and other sites. Changing Adobe Flash Preferences to "on" seemed to solve it - along with clearing cache etc. At least on my MacBook but same settings havent worked on an iMac.

Yesterday the Guardian Comments section disappeared on the MacBook using Safari but not the iMac using Safari (or an iPad).

BBC iPlayer works ok

Please post if you get a fix. I'm not in the mood to reinstall.

Meant to ask why it wouldn't work for me when I tried it at the but forgot and put up with it.

Anyway, tried one more time tonight by copying and pasting the instruction and lo and behold, worked for me too.

A huge thank you to Eric and Tinnerbiscuits et al as this has cleared the issue completely with iplayer now working too and safari seeming faster(?) as well

Help much appreciated, Merry christmas to one and all

I don't know what certificate that sites uses, but see if this link helps.

Global Sign Invalid Certificate

You are welcome. It may be the website is having problems because you aren't the only one who is having problems with that website.

You are welcome.

You are welcome. Glad to help.

Thanks. This worked for me as well. 🙂
