When I access this forum on Chrome, I get a message that the link is not secure? What is happening?

It’s not https. I wouldn’t worry about it.

I set firefox and chrome to ignore the warning.



Not minority enough!

I have the latest version of Firefox and have never gotten that message.

Besides, I don't put a lot of confidence in any these browsers anyways.

Wait a minute. I know. Too many conservatives all gathered in one place. Smile

As chowser says - it's an https thing.

If your shortcut/link is:

https://sigforum.com

Then you'll get the message about being unsecure.

If your link is:

https://sigforum.com

You should not get any warning.





This is where my signature goes.

https://sigforum.com/eve/forums and I'm getting the 'Not secure' message.

This is the first I have noticed it. I'm using Opera.

I got that same message yesterday, while trying to access the SCCY web site to look at their little pocket pistols. Not for SIGforum, though.

I use Duck Duck Go as a search engine in Safari.

This is why I always put on my tinfoil hat when I am on this site.

This blog post explains the change Google made to Chrome that results in the production of this message. Some consider it a ham-handed attempt to guarantee the income of SSL certificate authorities, a club of which Google is itself a member.

Remember the basics:

1) just because someone tells you something, doesn't mean it is true.
2) you are responsible for your own security (and the evaluation thereof).
3) sometimes a gift comes with a hidden price tag.

and some less obvious:

1) the use of SSL/HTTPS is no guarantee of "security," there are many many other things that can lead to compromise.
2) CA's can be dishonest too.
