Can't login on Mac (Chesskid)

Any idea why I can't log in  to chesskid.com on my daughter's account on my iMac (running OS X)?   It works fine with my login on the same machine.  Her acocunt has web security enabled and the "try to restrict adult content" option ticked.   I have put chesskid.com on the list of allowed sites though, so it should work fine.   The main page loads, but once I have entered her login details, I get a "cannot make a secure connection" error.   Any thoughts?  Much appreciated.

I ran into the same problem and just figured this out.  Instead of adding chesskid.com to the list of allowed sites, you have to add the IP address.  Enter http://68.71.245.7/ (I also added https://68.71.245.7/ for good measure, although I'm not sure if it's necessary).

Basically, if you use Mac OS X parental controls, you need to do this for any site that uses https.  (do a reverse DNS lookup on the name to find the IP address)
