Problem Insecure website sign in

[The Spider Faery]

Hi board staff. I noticed when I go to sign in lately I get the message "This connection is not secure. Logins entered here could be compromised." Also, my browser shows that the arachnoboards website isn't secure. Could you look in to a way to secure this website? I'm iffy about signing in and having my information compromised. Thanks.

This is a recent addition to Firefox and Chrome (and possibly other browsers). Web sites have mostly been HTTP up until now but the new browsers want to up things to HTTPS, secure connections protocol.

Yeah... same here. But nothing to worry about. As The Snark said browser features. Your slings can sleep well only until I die, because after I will turn into a spitiful insidious ghost stealing 'sacks' 24/7 like if there's no tomorrow :-s

This is now the new paradigm for web sites that request data such as passwords. There are an assortment of How To for the web sites to switch to the Secure protocol.

This web site is an example how to switch. It also gives a hint as to how much work may be involved for people like the AB owners.
