Connection is not secure

[Dino]

Since a few days I'm getting a connection not secure message on this site. Something seems to be off with the certificate. This is the same for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

I there anything I can do to resolve this?

A few days? You should upgrade your software more often...

A while ago Firefox and Chrome decided that any "http" connection was insecure and therefore bad. Basically, to get around their warnings I need to change the site to always use "https" (redirect the original "http" request and/or change all links on the site to use https). This site doesn't have a security certificate (it does technically but you guys don't see it) so just pointing to https will give users a completely different warning message. What it's actually complaining about is the login box on every page in the header as the credentials will be sent in plain text over an http connection instead of encrypted like an https connection. The options are to make every page encrypted OR force everyone to use a single login page that is https.

This covers the high points:

There's a lot more nuances to the discussion but it's morning, it's Sunday, and I've had a really hard week.

Hey the whole shindig is set to automatic updates, I can't help that it's slow.   

Alright, at least now I know why it does that and I can go fix this. Thanks T, hope you have a better week coming!
