Clicked on link, received warning

I posted this in another thread:

I just did a google search, on this domain and “this link”. When I click on SDMB links in those threads, either hotlinked or in the clear, the page comes up. When I click on the link in the OP of the thread referenced in the quote, I get the warning.

Anyone know why?

The link has https:// instead of http:// - if you take off the “s” the link works properly.

I thought you mean a moderator warning…how the hey do you get that from clicking on a link?

We don’t use https here.

I fixed the link in that thread so that it goes to http instead of https.

Ve haff our vays…

And if you click on any link to that infamous paper towel tube thread – you know, the one that started it all – you get auto-insta-banned. Since them as do that are no longer around to warn everyone else, very few people know about this.
