Forum "not secure" ?

I notice that the forum URL is marked as "Not secure" . I think I remember it as having a padlock. Not a problem really but I think Facebook rejects comments with unsecured links in them.

I don't pretend to know enough about this to comment at the moment but I noticed it a few days ago and am sure that it hasn't always been that way.

Does anyone else have any ideas?

I'm currently talking to our hosts to see if they can throw any light on it.

I think to be secure you have to subscribe to something. In this case your hosts subscription may have expired.

I've noticed that the other forums we use are also not secure. Nor is the EOC.

It means any communication with your host is not encrypted. Only a problem if you entering sensitive information. You get https in front of your url if coms is encrypted. Facebook thinks your a scally though

Just tried using a search engine other than Google and it doesn't say, either way.

Yet Facebook has not deleted the link to Marmite's Eriba I posted there this morning? Also the link to Camping Shak I added earlier this evening.

For chrome it's either https or "not secure". For other search engines it may be blank but all should show https for secured coms

What is puzzling is that the two links I mentioned above are shown on Facebook as HTTP but when you arrive at the page the HTTP changes to Not Secure?

Maybe it was secure when you posted. Could you try another link now (and wait 5 mins)

Just linked to this forum's Portal Page and again it comes up as HTTP until you have completed the link.

Yes, I noticed that too. As they are Google Maps it would appear that Google are the party that is responsible for levelling the "Not Secure" claims on all the forums. I'm waitng for a response from our hosts.

Just sounds like the site's SSL certificate has expired which should be sorted out by the hosting company. Not sure who you use, but this would normally be an extra provided as part of the service along with the domain name. These usually last 12 months so need to be renewed each year. Assuming the subs have been paid it should be down to the hosting company to renew it (also assuming that you have all this taken care of as a package).
