Not secure
« on: June 20, 2020, 11:18:23 AM »
When I post on R&E I get the message Not Secure at the top of my screen. The first time this happened was at the beginning of this week. I have changed my password, and check my virus protection regularly. I wish to keep posting on R&E, but naturally I am concerned I might be a risk.

Are other posters having this problem too?

We have covered this a couple of times. The site is not an https sure because it does not involve any financial transactions, and switching it would up the cost considerably for no real benefit or reason. That said you shouldn't use a password on this site that relates to anything you use for more sensitive actions.
