This week we enabled Secure Socket Layers (SSL) encryption on your eManager account. SSL is the same technology used by banks and online shopping sites like amazon to protect your personal information that is transferred between your computer and the website.

This is just one of several mechanisms we have been implementing to make your account’s content and constituent data more secure.

Unfortunately, we have found one annoying consequence to this update: users of Internet Explorer are getting lot’s of pop-up warnings about “mixed content” and other alerts. Don’t be alarmed, IE just wants to let you know that some of the content is coming from a different site, which in this case is usually images from your public site.

Here’s how to update your browser’s setting to make these pop-ups go away:

  1. In the IE menu bar, select “Tools” -> “Internet Options” (you may need to press “Alt” to view the menu bar)
  2. Click the “Security” tab
  3. Click the “Internet” zone icon and then the button for “Custom level…”
  4. Scroll down a little past halfway and you will see a setting for “Display mixed content”
  5. Click the radio button to “Enable” this setting
  6. Click OK, then Yes and OK again to save this new setting

You may need to restart your browser for the setting to take effect in your eManager account.  If you continue to get any pop-up warnings, please let us know.
