No problem, I wasn't trying to come across like a dick and to be fair, I hadn't even noticed the BB was just plain http till the OP went up

Don't expect much to change here in the short-term.

https is not a fad. It is a secure protocol.

This is a standard warning, not an error, stating that the site is running http and without a secure connection. Normally if you go to a site and you are required to authenticate by, for arguments sake a userid/password then the site would have an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Certificate bound to it and deployed as https, the s meaning secure.

Without having https encryption the site is basically open to various attacks and abuse as it could easily be hacked at a drop of a ferminting bins lid.

hope this helps.

Prolly cos it likely uses straight HTTP protocols etc.

It's a current fad to use https (the "s" being the difference).

Some browsers just show the padlock emblem but with a red line through it.......

I have also been getting the same silly info stacked box for a couple of days.
Not only on this site.
Ignore it, it might go away,

Site Login

2017-03-16T18:29:37+00:00

Just tried logging in using Firefox and a warning came up that the site login is not secure and open to possible hackers and info stealing oddbods. Its part of the new Firefox update which I have only just noticed.

Tried it on Google Chrome and its the same, the site is not secure.

Any ideas anybody.
