I want to allow 2 sites

No-Script is blocking me from logging in to
www.warchant.com. No-Script is blocking most of the functions at
www.the-mainboard.com.
I appreciate your suggestions to fix these issues.
Thank you in advance.

I was asked to redirect twice, finally landing on http//floridastate.rivals.com/
Allowing, or temp-allowing, rivals.com should work. I don't have an account and didn't test it. Does it?
Thank goodness. I couldn't even get there, because Firefox warned me that the site was trying to connect securely, but Fx couldn't verify the secure connection.
Looking at tech details, they have a self-signed certificate, which is about as good as notarizing your own documents (i. e., there's no additional level of vetting and trust), and worse, that the site identifies itself as "localhost", which is an address that your computer uses *internally*. Firefox said that legit sites will not do this, and "could be an attempt at identity theft".
Scream at the webmaster and demand that the site be coded safely and certified properly -- or LEAVE and don't ever go back.

Certificate? Are you forcing https or something?

Such as ...?

I'm not forcing anything...I don't know how to! When I go to the site the page is supposed to fill with the logos of athletic teams. It doesn't do that, so I cannot my team's forum. That's what's happening now. Prior to this occurrance, I could not post on the team's forum.

Have you allowed the-mainboard.com?
Have you allowed googleapis.com?

The only way I know to allow a site is to put it on the whitelist. Both Rivals.com and the-mainboard are on my whitelist.

@ desidero:
therube was addressing my reply, not yours.
@THERUBE: Which is a good reason to use the Quote button, deleting what isn't needed, but preserving the name of the poster you're quoting.
Avoids exactly this type of confusion.
@ desidero:
I don't know what happened previously, when I clicked your link to mainboard and got the weird message, sorry.
Just went there now, temp-allowed the site, *and*, as
therube pointed out, googleapis.com (I used ajax.googleapis.com) --
and everything worked perfectly. Try it.
Note: Do you have
RequestPolicy add-on? You'll have to allow such requests there, also.
Again, my apologies for the frightening result previously. I don't wish to try to reproduce it.
