For those having problems I was able to get around the issues by connecting to the site using Http, instead of https. Since I cant post links, Ill copy paste the post to here from the Problem Solved thread where I explained how to fix...
Ive found that I can use Firefox with Pindiy, if I disable https only for this site. The sites security certificate is invalid, therefore you cant access the site securely. Most browsers want to access a site securely, so that anything exchanged with the site, and the browser is encrypted.
There is a firefox/Chrome add on called https everywhere which tries to use https on all sites. I dont have it, but from what I understand, you can turn it off for specific sites. For those of you who do have it installed, you can apparently disable the rule affecting Pindiy in your own copy of HTTPS Everywhere by clicking on the HTTPS Everywhere toolbar button and unchecking the rule for Pindiy.
If you dont have https everywhere and are having problems with the site in Firefox, try the following steps and see if it helps:
Typing in the site address with https:// before www.pindiy.com and try to access securely.
If that does not work try typing in the site address with http:// before www.pindiy.com and try to access unsecured.
If that just redirects you to the https:// address, then you need to try to turn security off for the site.
With the https:// address in the address bar, and whatever errors show up, you should see the lowercase letter "i" with a circle around it. Click on that and you will see a box pop up with www.pindiy.com and the words "connection is not secure" probably in red. There should be a greater than symbol ">" beside this. Click on the ">" symbol.
Another box should show up. This box should have the words "Disable protection for now" displayed in a box. Click on the "Disable protection" words.
At this point the website should then refresh (it may take a bit of time) and everything should display as normal, including pictures.
I had to do this in Firefox and Waterjet browsers to display the website properly. For Waterfox I had to do this for every page, but for Firefox I didnt (Im using Firefox now). Most browsers will have something similar to disable https security. The only risk to this is that if someone wants to capture information going back and forth between you and the website they can, so there is a risk involved in doing this. Use at your own discretion.
The Pindiy.com tech support team needs to fix the security certificate before we can securely access the site again using https standard internet security protocols.
Hope this helps those that are having issues accessing the site.
