that's after i tried on various different browsers - chrome/IE/FF - displays garbage somehow.

any fix for this?

Not sure why. Does reloading/refreshing the page sort it?

[seven8]

nope it doesn't. weirdly, sevenforums looks normal, but not eight.

Double check to make sure that you have http instead of https in the address bar for the site's URL. Having S at the end can cause this.

i tried putting http in the address bar, but it automatically redirects me to the https version. how do i stop that from occurring?

[Brink]

Open the links below in a new tab or window to see if stays http.

..and this one for the page in your first post.

After system sleeps and resumes >> runs for 2s >> turnsoff

sticks to https :/

[Brink]

Are you copying and pasting the link?

Is this in all browsers still?

Does all sites you go to have https?

Could you post screenshots showing the full address bar and browser to see if anything may stand out?

Do you have any add-ons or toolbars installed in the browsers that could keep you in secured https?

Copy the address then paste it in this web based proxy, don't sign in, just see how the page appears.

Assuming you haven't installed something like https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere
