connection is not secure

Postby royb » 28 Jan 2023, 13:29

In the site address bar there is a padlock with a red line through it.
It says "connection is not secure". Is this something to worry about?

It means connections to the site are not encrypted, which means they are less secure.

Most website are now encrypted and have the padlock icon.

The website is owned by Bob Dore, aka Admin. I’m sure he’ll be aware.

You are OK just reading posts and answering them. I wouldn't take the risk and include my credit card number in anything I write on this site, though.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like we will have to be a bit careful.

I don’t think you need worry. It has been that way from the word go and nobody has reported any problems.
