Firefox login too forum
In the last couple of days when I login to the forum I get a warning that this site is not secure, I was wondering if anyone else has gotten this warning. I can go ahead and log in and last night I had had a picture of a padlock with a bar through it on the top left hand side has this happened to any other forum members? I use mozilla firefox as my main site. Jeff

When I use Firefox here, I now get a "Connection Is Not Secure" message.
When I use Internet Explorer here, I don't get any error message.

Never have a problem with Firefox. Did you install any upgrades or version changes to any program?

Is your operating system up-to-date? Is Firefox updated to version 52.0.1?

I also use Firefox and, after reading the OP I checked the little box on the upper right corner of my screen. It does say the site is not secure. First time I've seen this. Now I've got to sign in with Chrome and see if that's the same.
Just logged in with Chrome and got the same message. Maybe the mods needs to look into any potential problem.

I visited the AR-15 forum when I was researching platforms before making a purchase. I always got a non-secure warning which I ignored. It cost me, twice I had to involve the Geek Squad to correct problems. The last time my laptop had to be completely reprogrammed. I don't visit that site anymore.

Guys I'm far (light years) from a geek but I'm on 6 forums, and only one passes muster with this NEW way of doing things. I'm on Firefox!
These forums have always been sort of open but the new software now say you have a problem .One forum I have been on (car forum) for close to 14 years with absoletuely no problems. Another 10 years.
Keep you anti virus up to date and clean out stuff like cookies and other junk on a regular biases.

I realize that not everyone is comfortable restoring their computer, but I thought I'd give you a heads-up. The FBI pays a $500 bounty to Geek Squad technicians who turn up evidence of criminal activity on their customer's devices.
Not intimating you do, just a word to the wise.

This was addressed just yesterday.
