  1. I was able to fix the warning locally, but there is no favicon to be seen. I think it's normal place is in the website root, preferably called 'favicon.ico'.
  2. Perhaps the redirect to the 'unsafe' http url is on webserver level? I vaguely remember something about having to edit apache vhost config files with regards to favicons. Anyway that's what I think chrome is saying also: something requested a favicon, but that request resolved into 'http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?p=404' which is not https and therefore unsafe. I don't think it has to do with local browser cache, but not 100% sure. EDIT: It is/was browser cache in the mix. I was somehow able to clean up the cache it seems (clearing all data since beginning and clicking around in the inspecter), and now the store page loads without unsafe warnings (and without any favicon requests or mentions).
  3. When I inspect the site with chrome the console says: "Mixed Content: The page at 'https://battlefront.com/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure favicon 'http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?p=404'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS."
  4. I have checked all my orders and they all seem fine, also afghanistan.
  5. Nice! Any chance of having some screens of your troops and their vehicles?
  6. In CMSF they had the Eryx and Carl Gustaf, IIRC. The Carl Gustaf mainly came with anti infantry rounds, afaik. No Javelins for any Nato module forces.
  7. Doesn't it scale with the forces selected? I.e. Republican guards have different tank formations compared to regular, etc.
  8. Nice force composition, I'm curious what you can achieve with it. Especially the ATGMs are very dangerous for basically any BLUE vehicle.
  9. On holidays in Morocco last month we rented a 4 door Jeep Wrangler and had the hard top removed. Great vehicle for driving there (especially in the desert like mountains) and having no roof is sure nice when its 35+ C, but when the sun is down it gets cold very quick (even with 25+ C. ambient temperature), due to the wind at higher speeds. And yes, we ate some dust when we went off the road :-).
  10. Wow. Here in Utrecht they're asking a bloody €250k for an old ****ty 55m2 appartment.
  11. Than somehow your DNS didn't update yet, for which there might be various reasons. You can try changing your nameservers to 1.1.1.1, see https://1.1.1.1/. Google also has nameservers available if you don't mind them. Another option is to try to flushdns, but this will only work if the caching is local. The last option is to just wait, probably it will fix itself today or tomorrow.
  12. Yeah they acknowledged a problem with that, same for me: "Quick note... we are aware of problems with old orders not having the full data shown in My Orders. The data is definitely safe and sound, but there's something wrong with the display. New orders are fine. We'll get it fixed soon!
  13. Ahhh, DNS. I have 'some' experience with DNS while working with a domainname registrar myself a while back. That is, basically my IT career started when I decided to learn programming and develop a DNS manage tool for customers, after I/we got tired of directly editing zonefiles in the nameservers themselves and manually commiting them for propagation in the console. Good old days of the internet :-) Anyway, Godaddy should have been able to inspect the actual zonefile in their nameservers (instead of what is stored in the customer portal domain DNS profile), but at a company the size of godaddy the issue is finding the right person that can actually do that or even knows about it. The great thing of DNS is that when there is any issue with a host, the fix will only show up after the TTL at the respective ISP has expired. Now try explaining that to customers who's website is offline. Of course they always have an expensive ad campaign running right when they do domain transfers or host transfers and TTL suddenly enters their reality.
  14. Since the move to the new website seems to have been a DNS change, the only logical explanation for that should be DNS caching at your providers and the TTL setting of the domain at the time someone with your provider last visited it. If the TTL (TimeToLive) was set at 10 hours, it will only do a dns lookup at the authorative nameservers 10 hours after the last time it did that. Anyway, the new website does show for me. It looks a lot more modern I like the new menu's functionality and the new header images with great screenshots of the game. One thing I noticed is that those images seem to be aligned right on the main page, while being aligned left on a product page. See attached screenshots, I do have a 2560x1440 screen and chrome (and I did clear browser cache just in case). The only thing I did is that I clicked on the CMFI image in the header:
  15. Maybe when CMSF2 comes out? I do like me some pbems but finding the time throughout the duration is always a pita.
  16. No idea why it was cut. Although I think it is quite normal for Netherlands and Germany (and other countries) to cooperate in international military deployments.
  17. CMSF including all it's content is still the CMx2 game I played the most and has a reserved a special spot in my game slots, as it was the game that got me into combat mission. Sublime mentioned Paper Tiger's Red on Red campaign (rightly so imo), there is a lot of Red on Red possibilities in CMSF. Simulating the Syrian conflict is very well possible. Plus there are Marines, Brits, Germans, Canadians and last but not least the Dutch for BLUE. Getting all that content in 4.0 engine is worth it alone for me. Edit to add: Syrian SF with their RPG-29s and AT-14, coupled with T-90s and BMP-3s are quite decent even H2H when up against BLUE. Coupled with appropriate mission parameters (and objectives for Blue & RED) defensive terrain, suitable strategy and tactics Red can really take the fight to BLUE. One of my best, most intense and fun h2h fights was with the Syrian SF against Gleb O. as US (I forgot his forum name, something with 88's in it), a worthy and classy opponent. Not sure if we finished the game to the end but it was sure fun as hell using mech heavy Syrian SF and T-90s in guerilla tactics against the US. Hiding portable AT-13s in highrise buildings facing my side, waiting until they got flank/rear shots on enemy armor and then rushing in a platoon of T-90s gives some nice fireworks. Expecting and accepting to lose all assets gives birth to a whole new crate of tactics when compared to BLUE or even CMBS Red forces. I like it. Anyway it's an upgrade of CMSF, not a brand new game or game engine AFAIK, so I wouldn't expect new features etc.
  18. Well I was on holidays but not in Amsterdam
  19. Am I the only one that missed the CMSF 2 beta AAR? and Might be a good idea to sticky an announcement on the general board.
  20. Ah yes, apple. It 'just works' like that I guess. Steam is quite handy for storing licenses, updates, etc. Basically it's very user friendly, at least to most users. I don't see the point of discussing CM on steam though. People in the know decide what's best for the company. I'm no BF shareholder so I'm not even going to contemplate second guessing BF.C business decisions like these. Would I like CM on steam? Yes, why not would be easy for me. Does it really matter to me? Nah
  21. The greatest challenge ever perhaps? Sounds like you have just the right man for the job! At least it would be a (great) chance to outdo Putin, something someone might consider of great importance. I see your green man, and raise you with these blue man! [Great tongue in greater cheek].
