Whenever I click a thread or refresh a page on the fora, I'm getting a security warning saying "Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?" etc. This only just started happening today. Is anyone else seeing this? And how can I make it go away? It is very annoying.

I had noticed on a couple of pages Chrome was flagging the URL as insecure (but not giving any real warnings).  That seems to have gone away after I cleared my cache, but I don't know if that was what did it.

It's gone away now on mine as well. Not sure what was going on earlier!

I'm not that worried about it. Sites like google deliver some data to the browser securely, and other data, on the same page, "insecurely." But most of that "insecure" data isn't really terribly crucial, as far as I can tell.

This error message is endemic in MSFT Internet Explorer, probably because they are super sensitive to claims that their browser is insecure. I use Chrome, and am free of the IE nanny.

I usually use FireFox, so maybe that's why I hadn't noticed it on the fora before.

I was clicking yes, but the only thing that was really bothering me about it was that the message was appearing Every. Single. Time I clicked on a new page, and therefore it was getting annoying having to click yes all the time.

I've seen similar things happen on another forum I frequent when spammers have posted phishing links somewhere on the forum.  Maybe we were seeing the browser alert only until mods removed some nasty spam?
