Where's Azz when we need him? He will know what this means, I bet.
Help Azz!!!
BTW Mups - has it always been like that for you, ie no http/s and the i in a circle?

Oh dear, thanks Mups.... so it's not good really is it? I mean I'm sure some members give out lots of personal info, perhaps in PMs, that might be being looked into if the site is insecure. It should really be secure on here.
It's rammed down our throats constantly about security on sites and not to give personal info out if it's insecure.
AZZ...Cooeeeee....

Re: 'Your connection to this site is not secure'
Haven't they always been able to read the posts ie 'cos it's an 'open forum' rather than private.I remember they were able to before I took my 'self imposed exile', or sabbatical or whatever it was
But I don't remember the site showing as being insecure then.

I'm sure it wasn't like that before
if you click on the address bar and copy it then paste it into notebook you will find that the http:// is actually there, just not shown.
You might have noticed that if you type in an address into the address bar you only need to type in www.bcl1947.blogspot.com.au/, the http:// is a given and the browser adds it automatically.

Is there a reason you do not use HTTPS, Azz?
