Am I the only one who's computer has the words Not Secure in front of the sites address bar?

So no one else is seeing the words Not Secure in front of this website address bar ? It's just in front of the https //sbg-sword-forum. I don't see it on any other web site I go on only here.

I think it has to do with content such as pictures/images that is causing the notification to display.

Funny you mention that because I did try to attach a photo here yesterday that I have attached here before but this time it wouldn't take it.

The problem with attaching pictures can have another reason. Since a few weeks I can't upload pictures from a google search because the are still named xxx.jpg but are indeed another format called "webp". It seems the Add Attachment function can't upload this webp format. I have to convert them into real jpg on my pc before I can upload them.

I tried to attach photos from my photos on my PC that I attach on this site before but this time it wouldn't take them. Yep just tried again and it still wouldn't take it but you can see them in my review of my Eindride. Worked then but not now.

I attached a photo last night and linked it in the new acquisitions thread. Worked just fine for me. Maybe your antivirus program is causing some problem?

I have it.
It's because some of the page's content (typically images, whether site graphics or user-uploaded) is not served over https, but is http. i.e. those parts are 'unsecured'.
The site can fix its own contents by doing a site-wide redirect to http->https in the config. (Might be more complicated here with the shared hosting deal, I don't know. It's easy on my own web host.)
For those of us linking images in from other servers though, they might not be https themselves and I don't think there's anything the site's server can do about that. So those images will always trigger an 'insecure' flag.
It's not usually an issue, because the software only allows certain content (like .jpg, .gif etc) to be linked and displayed as such. Otherwise it would be a huge security hole regardless of http/https.
It's a thing we will see far more often now with google pushing for world-wide https and making a fuss when it isn't, and eventually everything will be https so no more messages.

Okay so here's a new flip to the story. When I came on the site without logging in it DID NOT say Not Secure but as soon as I logged in it DID say Not Secure. I think I might just ignore it.

Troubled infancy related?

Well I guess than it's both me and CSILLS2313 as well. I think a lot of other people see it but are afraid to admit to it. Just like a lot of things only a few brave souls will step up and say I do.

You are NOT alone.

Mine is... "not fully secure". I guess that means I still have hope.

For me the SBG forum is secure as well, but Sword Forum International has been triggering my virus scanner for months now.
