When I come onto the SAAC forum, it says. "Sight Not Secure" in the web bar and continues saying that even after I am logged on and the entire time I'm on here. This just started recently. Anyone else have this happening?
I can see it too.
You mean this?

My sight is secure. BUT the web SITE might not be .
Spelling police .
Actually when I type in saacforum.com in the browser, or whatever that's called up top, It says "site not secure". And it stays that way the whole time I'm on the website, it doesn't matter what thread I am on.
And I have yet to be able to post photos. In the past I never had any problems up until now.
I only get that when I click on THIS Thread..........because it is the Title of this Thread.

Does it say that when you click on other Threads?
tesgt350, please read my OP ::)
In general computerworks might consider to reconfigure the site to https:// As of 2018 most forums move or have moved to that prefix. We had reconfigured our own forum as well.
Otherwise the http://www.saacforum.com website is typically displayes as not secure.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTPS
If you navigate to https://www.saacforum.com you will get a security warning because this forum is not set up as a secure site. Try typing just "saacforum.com" into your browser and you should not see the warning.
And as it has been pointed out before, this site is not secure and it is visible by anyone in the world with an Internet connection, so understand that whatever information that you share here can be seen by anyone including your email, date of birth, gender, location, etc. if you choose to include them in your profile.

What was that noise???... Gotta go
You know if you walk outside your house people can actually see your face.
And if you drive your car they might actually see your license plate
We are referring to the Russians right???

It helps to read wikipedia. It is rather a trend to change to htttps://
Server setup
To prepare a web server to accept HTTPS connections, the administrator must create a public key certificate for the web server. This certificate must be signed by a trusted certificate authority for the web browser to accept it without warning. The authority certifies that the certificate holder is the operator of the web server that presents it. Web browsers are generally distributed with a list of signing certificates of major certificate authorities so that they can verify certificates signed by them.
Acquiring certificates
Let's Encrypt, launched in April 2016,[21] provides free and automated SSL/TLS certificates to websites.[22] According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, "Let's Encrypt" will make switching from HTTP to HTTPS "as easy as issuing one command, or clicking one button."[23]. The majority of web hosts and cloud providers already leverage Let's Encrypt, providing free certificates to their customers.
you know, not that I think about it this site has been unsecure since the beginning (10 years). Just think about ALL the information that has been posted and EVERYBODY on the internet has seen.
Facebook is HTTPS...didn't help
Target HTTPS...didn't help
Equifax, JP Morgan/Chase, LinkedIn...I can keep going if you like.
Point is there is nothing to worry about. Change the channel and stop watching FOX.
And despite the site not being secure and all information available to to anyone, we still have fake info on these cars from some auction operators and web sites trying to make up "facts" about the cars for sale. Odd. 8)
It doesn't take but about a dozen or more replies to get this thread all bent out of shape.
TO ALL WHO HAVE RESPONDED!!! Read my OP again, I have copied and paste it.....

Ok, I said, "This just started recently". The "Sight Not Secure" has never been in my web browser. Why has it started now?
I was hoping to get a response to this thread from the SAAC whiz kids, but obviously not....
I'm going to disappear for a while and hopefully it'll clear up by itself ::)
Did you try just typing saacforum.com into the address bar?
If you type in https://saacforum.com (https://saacforum.com) or if you bookmarked the link with the https:// prefix then you'll get the warning. The warning is generated by your web browser when it can't find a valid security certificate on a site with an https:// prefix. Maybe a recent browser update caused this issue to appear?
Since there isn't a payment processing feature on this forum it's not as critical for it to have a security certificate. All a certificate does is verify through a trusted source that you are on the web site that you think that you're on. EDIT: and provides encryption of the data sent and received.
Now if you'll excuse me I need to return to the bunker, put my tinfoil hat on and see what's new on InfoWars... :o ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
