For a while now, I've been seeing "connecting to paypal.com" in my status bar, when I didn't before. Now I get this:

So what's going on here?
I cant see the picture at school, but you got "connecting to paypal.com" because there is a link to donate to RMRK through paypal at the bottom right hand corner of the page.
The picture says this:
Website certified by unknown authority
Unable to verify the identity of paypal as a trusted site.
Possible reasons for this error:
- Your browser does not recognize the Certificate Authority that issued the certificate
- The site's certificate is incomplete due to a misconfiguration
- You are connected to a site pretending to be paypal.com, possibly to obtain your confidential information
Please notify the site's webmaster about this problem.
Maybe Silver should be notified then, I've never got thids. :(
I really wouldn't worry about that, it normally is quite fine for a trusted site ( Just means they haven't paid up just yet... ). But then again, it could also mean that it's a clone site designed to steal your money... HoHum...
I'm sure everythings fine, but you never know.
The certificate expired I'd guess. Just choose the first option and press OK.
BUT!
This is strange... I have gotten the same thing... Even though I didn't open Paypal... Could it be a virus?!
There's the donate thing right at the bottom near the reply button...i think that's it...
edit
Okay maybe not...maybe it was just me.
Yeah, then it's fine. You can do what I posted above.
Fixed it, wtf.
Part of the button code,
as generated by paypal, is this:
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
But if you follow that link, you'll see they've deleted that image =/ which makes a 404 and is undoubtedly what was causing it, seeing as that was the *only* thing you'd load from paypal on each page.
Anyway, I removed it and the button works fine, so.
Fixed?
I never got the error since I use the pink theme right now, which doesn't have the button.
Donate is till supposed to be at the bottom, right?
