Same here - the toolbar appears, but the content does not. No errors logged in the console.

The editor works as expected in Firefox 51 on the same PC.

I'm on Version 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit) on Win 10 and it's fine for me.

Do you have any add-ins such as ad-blockers? Ad blockers have been causing a bunch of issues lately it seems.

Looks like it's a uBlock filter on mine - both "##iframe[style][src]" and "##[style] > iframe" are showing as blocked. After disabling uBlock and reloading the page, the editor works.

It will probably affect other ad-blockers that user the same block lists.

It doesn't affect Firefox, because I've already disabled uBlock for CodeProject.

How could I get Newsletters and The Insider News in Dark Background?

You are right, it was AdBlocker. After turning it off, the editor works normal.

Thanks for help.

How could I get Newsletters and The Insider News in Dark Background such as white text on a Black/dark background? Please help if any one knows. Is there any settings on the website to customize website background?

Maybe your email client allows custom CSS to be used.

Thank You very much for super fast reply. Big Grin | :-D

Sorry, How could I use custom CSS? I know nothing about "email client"

What email provider do you use? Is it gmail/hotmail, for instance, or do you view your email in Outlook or Thunderbird?

Thank You very much Big Grin | :-D

The link shows background-color property is supported by Gmail. Smile | :)

How to change the background-color of the subscribed Newsletters from CodeProject? Confused | :confused:

The website's background is also white, I searched an extension here "CodeProject Article Reader" that allows to read only. I need the emails background's color "non white". D'Oh! | :doh:

You're a coder - time for you to go off, do some research, and code that up for yourself.

No access to codeproject.com from Nokia mobile

-=at=-15-Feb-17 6:12

15-Feb-17 6:12

Hi!

I cannot open codeproject.com web site from my Nokia E7 (Belle, Delight CFW) phone.
Default browser (Nokia Browser 8.3.2.21) claims that web site may be removed and/or renamed and/or blah blah...
Opera Mobile claims that Secure Transaction failed. Maybe some certificate problem...

This problem has appeared some time ago (several months), it seems that this is somehow linked with site https/security changes.

The web site is still available using Opera Mini, but that is somewhat limited...

What I have tried:

1. I have manually installed *.codeproject.com wildcard certificate on the device - nothing has changed.
2. I have tried to change User Agent string in default browser - no changes.
3. I have enabled TLS 1.1 in Opera Mobile 12.0... (disabled by default) - no changes.

In fact I was able to open codeproject.com in Firefox on desktop with TLS version limited to TLS 1.0 but I don't know why mobile browsers cannot open it...

Chris Maunder15-Feb-17 9:22

Your browser doesn't support modern certificates and so is unable to view our SSL site.

The latest version of Opera Mobile should (at least I'd expect it to) handle the SSL properly.

FWIW Apple's discontinued Safari on Windows has the same issue. With Google mandating that sites need to be SSL everywhere we have no choice but to move with the times, meaning some older systems will have issues.

Thanks Chris for your answer.

But I think there is no problem with https itself. I can freely open youtube.com over https and have no problems with it at all.

What also I have found using a small bash script is that youtube.com support next set of ciphers with TLS 1.0 (script output, filtered by YES):

Testing ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA...YES
Testing AES256-SHA...YES
Testing ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA...YES
Testing AES128-SHA...YES
Testing DES-CBC3-SHA...YES

and codeproject.com

Testing ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA...YES
Testing DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA...YES
Testing ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA...YES
Testing DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA...YES

Using website SSL Cipher Suites Supported By Your Browser[^] from my mobile I have found that connection was established using TLS 1.0 and ciphers
AES128-SHA (Opera Mobile)
AES256-SHA (Nokia Browser)
and both these ciphers are supported by youtube.com and unsupported on codeproject.com

So the question arises... Can support for these ciphers be added on codeproject.com? It seems like youtube (read: Google) has not banned these...

I've passed this on to our network guys

Thank you very much.

Hope it is possible to solve this (I think that from twelve millions users I'm not alone with an older Nokia...).

But regardless the result this was an interesting and informative study anyway Smile | :)

Chris Maunder19-Feb-17 5:15

19-Feb-17 5:15

Can you please try again? More ciphers have been added.

Hi, Chris.

I've tried again to access codeproject.com from my mobile. Nothing has changed...

I have checked available ciphers list using the mentioned script (on Slackware64 14.2, OpenSSL 1.0.2k). It seems (at first sight) that nothing has changed. Again I see support only for four ciphers when using TLS 1.0. And those again are

ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA
DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA

in comparison with m.youtube.com (ciphers in which I'm interested are highlighted)

ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
AES256-SHA
ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA
AES128-SHA
DES-CBC3-SHA

Below you can see the script' output for codeproject.com, m.youtube.com and youtube.com servers both with protocol auto selection and TLS 1.0 selected manually. Only ciphers available on web server are logged. I've highlighted ciphers in which I'm interested...

So you're after:

ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA
DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA

Is that correct?

No, the mentioned ciphers are already supported by codeproject.com.
I need support for

AES256-SHA
AES128-SHA

but these are not available on codeproject.com.
