2026-05-11: WEBSITE DISPLAY & INPUT PROBLEMS?
On just one of my computers, in Google Chrome, a display problem arose last week. Instead of the familiar light blue colour scheme,
the website was coming up all white and unformatted.
When I tried to do something like enter a new coach, it told me that my link was unsecure and asked if I would like to do it anyway.
Then one of our conveners reported the same thing.
Other people reported that they weren't able to do some operations even though they
had a valid account and password.
It turned out that for some reason, probably a browser update, Chrome had decided that its link to d2llontario.ca was insecure.
I am learning more than I want to about web security! Even though we have a valid security certificate, we get these message in Chrome,
and possibly in Chrome-based browsers like Microsoft Edge. It seems that our web code is all built using internal references that use "http:".
We need to change that internally to "https:". Then the combination of the browser and our certificate will be able to do their things and
avoid the messages.
We can't do that quickly, but fortunately there is a work-around.
Allow d2llontario.ca (only) to show insecure content on a computer:
- Open your Chrome (or Microsoft Edge) browser.
- At the top right, click More
Settings.
- Click Privacy and security
Site Settings.
- Click Additional content settings
Insecure content. [It is way at the bottom of the page]
- Next to "Allowed to show insecure content," click Add.
- Enter the site's URL. [d2llontario.ca]
- To change an added site's specific default settings: Next to the URL, click More
.
- Click either Allow, Edit, or Remove.
Allow supposed "insecure" messages when you press buttons on d2llontario.ca (only):
- Open your Chrome (or Microsoft Edge) browser.
- In the address bar, type: chrome://flags (OR if in Edge, type: edge://flags)
- In the search box on the Flags page, type: insecure
- Look for the section titled "Insecure origins treated as secure"
- In the text box for that section, add: http://d2llontario.ca
- If the feature is Disabled, change it to Enabled
- Go to the bottom of the page and click "Relaunch" (or "Restart")
Hopefully that will allow you to keep seeing the D2 web site the way it was meant to be seen, until we can rebuild to use "https:" internally.

PASSWORD CHANGE PROBLEMS
Our "I forgot my password!" button is not working. When you press it, you are supposed to get an email with a reset link.
At the moment, you get a success message at the top of your screen saying "Forgot/Reset Password email sent" but it turns out that is a lie. No email ever shows up.
Passwords are encrypted in the database so I can't look it up and tell you what your password is. But I can do a manual reset to a temporary password,
tell you what it is, and you can use that to change your password to something private. Send your password request to jimdean@littleleague.ca.
2026-05-03: GETTING STARTED WITH THE D2 WEB SITE:
Before you can do anything, you need (a) an account, and (b) to be on your team's contact list.
If you had an account in a previous season, it probably still exists. And it could be that one has already been created for you by the time you read this.
Here is what to do if you have forgotten it and/or your password:
- Go to your Team's Contacts page, or any other Contacts page that has your name on it.
- Find your name.
- Look beside *your* name for the "Edit" link.
- Click the "Edit" link beside *your* name.
- This will take you to your personal details page. Your account id is at the top. (Write it down!!)
- Go to the bottom of that page and click the "I forgot my Password" button.
- This will cause an e-mail to be sent to your primary e-mail address.
- If that address is no good anymore, you will have to let me know and I'll fix it.
- The e-mail you receive will have a link which you can use to reset your password to something you'll remember.
Head Coaches should ask their Convener to assign them as the Head Coach of his/her particular team. If you do not already have a D2 web site account, he/or she will make it for you.
Head Coaches can then add Assistant Coaches, Team Admin, and Scorekeeper. Any of those people should be able to add the roster and enter game results.
Checking your contact info: Please check if the emails and phone numbers for you are correct. If you need to change, you can change info yourself by clicking on the 'Edit' link next to your name (on any Contacts page you appear on). Your account name is shown at the top of the page, and is normally the first initial of your first name and your last name, eg: jdean, but thare are exceptions. If you have forgotten your password, you can click the "I forgot my password!" button at the bottom of your page. This will send an email to the address list in your profile, with a link and instructions to reset your password. If that info is no good, you will need yout Convener's help to set it. Due to a 'gotcha' in the system, never try to change your password and your contact data at the same time. Do password first, submit it, then do the data change, and submit it. Or vice versa.
Adding asst coaches and score keepers etc:
Once the head coach is added, he/she can add asst coaches and their info by clicking on 'add first asst coach'. This takes you to a page with a filter that lets you search for accounts already on the D2 system. You can enter first or last name in the search filter.(For ex: if I enter 'Adams' and press filter it lists 'Clark Adams' and 'Matthew Adams'.) if the name/account does not exist, you will need to add a new user account, (Click the "Add New User" link, follow the instructions on that page, and then return to the filter box and button and try again. You should now be able to assign the person as an assistant coach. Repeat these steps for other team roles as well. Remember when you add a new user, please always use the first letter of their first name, and last name as the account name. If there are name conflicts, (i.e Andrew Smith and Anthony Smith), you may use extra letters such as antsmith for the second Smith. When adding adults' contact info, use their whole first name in the First Name box. When adding youths to your roster, we will ask you to use only first initials. This helps protect our children.
Adding players to your roster: As above you can add players to the roster. From your team's page, click the "Edit/View Roster" link. For players who already played in spring or summer interlocks their names should be in the system already. All you need to do for them is to search for their name, select them and assign the jersey # and save. Please mark all kids as eligible to pitch, unless the kid is an overage player playing in a lower division.(eg. a 15 yr old in a 13-14 division).
If a player is not listed, you need to add the player first into the system before adding to the roster. You will need their DOB as well in order to add their names into the system. This is needed to confirm age eligibility. Rosters need to be locked before you can enter game results. Rostered players need to have uniform numbers in order for the roster to be locked. You can use bogus numbers and change them later, even when the roster is locked.
How to enter your game results will be posted in a day or two.
