Not secure

Recently I have noticed the forums are listed as not secure is the case or is something amiss my end

Listed by whom as "insecure"?

How are you accessing the forum?

From a bookmark? If so, check that the link you are using starts with https://www.woodworkforums.com/ - note the https part. If the URL you're entering doesn't have the s on the end of the 'http" it cannot be a secure connection.

However, I have noticed times that the https 'fails' and it falls back to a http connection. Your browser should notify you of this on loading the page. There are a few reasons this can happen, mostly at the forum's end or their host.

IMHO for a woodwork forum you should be fine...

Now, if it was a session to an online bank, accountant, solicitor or similar, then it's https or nothing. ;)

Chrome: the site is a http:// site, not an https:// site, so the browser lists it as "not secure".

I am using chrome although this has only come about in the last week or two home page is the same, I will play around and see what I can achieve

Hey China, I was having the same thing as you so I tried the link in Skew's post and that works fine. So it was my bookmark that was the problem. All good now :) :) Rick

Steven mentioned moving the site over from http to https in another thread about 3 weeks ago and I dare say that if you update your bookmark, that’ll fix the problem you are having.

Acco that worked , now can some tell me how t collapse the tab talk list

Do you mean what I’ve screenshot in this image? I’ve just noticed that I can’t collapse it either using the https server but I can on the http server. I’ll report it to Neil so that he can alert Steven.

I think China means the collapse a forum button at the top right as it doesn't work for me either. The manage attachments button doesn't work either so I can't post a clip of what I am referring to.Looks like the Thanks and Like buttons don't work either once you move to the new address and the attachments open in a new window.

Ah, yes.

They aren’t working for me either, just returns the page to the top and yes the manage attachments isn’t working for me on the https site but does on the http site

You can use the one as shown here to upload images instead of manage attachments.

Here is two things I have noticed on the https server, there is a gap when you put the mouse over top menu buttons which makes it impossible to move the mouse down.
you can also see that there is no editing buttons, I had to go back to the http version to be able to add the screen shots
