Connection not secure message
Every time I access the site I get this message.
I usually just press continue to site regardless without any problems. |

Re: Connection not secure message
Check your computer's time and date are set correctly.
What URL are you using to access the forum? Please copy it from the address bar and post it here. Do you get the error if you click on this link? https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/ |

Re: Connection not secure message
You probably have a bookmark saved which is using the old unencrypted URL, http://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/. This should automatically redirect to https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/ but in some cases this will trigger the security warning you're seeing.
Edit your bookmark, changing 'http' to 'https', and the problem should go away. |

Re: Connection not secure message
No, that's the URL that he's seeing after accessing the forum and the http->https redirect has taken place. If he checks his bookmark he'll see it's incorrect.
