Hi Tony,I have noticed that when I log in I get "site not secure ".This has happened the last times I have logged in. How do I fix this problem? Is it my computer?

Hi Chris
Great question, and fortunately there's a resonably simple answer Our site is not flag as being compromised (i.e. our database, logins, scripts personal messages etc are all safe) You are seeing this message as Google decided to change the way Chrome display Encypted (HTTPS) and Non-Encypted (HTTP) sites in your browser toolbar. Previously you would see a golden lock when using a secure (https) connection - eg doing Online Banking, Transactions etc. and Unencrypted sites (http) would simply show as blank when you browse other sites such as forums or non financial websites. Here's some more info if interested; I hope that helps make it sound less scary, nothing has changed since we started over a decade ago and we have never been hacked (knock on wood) I will have a look at how much it would cost to switch to https, which might be worth considering at this stage to help ensure we continue trouble free.

Thanks Tony. That is great. I was wondering if I had something wrong since I am not very good on the computer. Just trying to up load some photos the other day wore me out.
