    Goonersweb showing as 'not secure' in search engines

    Hi Guys,

    As per the title, I have already had issues that I have told Letters about whereby I cannot sign in on my iphone due to (I am guessing) is the same reason.

    I have tried different internet engines Google chrome, Internet explorer, Safari and they all show Goonersweb as not secure.

    I am currently signed in on my work PC using Google chrome and it is showing a red warning triangle with not secure next to it.

    Any ideas as this can't be a good thing going forward?

    cheers

    I did send you a PM about this. It's because we don't have an SSL certificate.
    So data is not encrypted between browser and server.
    Given that we aren't collecting personal data and this is a very small site I don't see this as a huge issue but if people are concerned we could look into that.
    It isn't free though.

    This wouldn't have happened at The Big 4 Forum
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    i use Firefox (just like any sensible person should) on an android phone - on which, incidentally, I have NOT signed into Google - and GW works fine

    the only problem i have is that i still can't see the lineup image posted by MTG in every match thread...

    I get a 'not secure' notification but the site works fine for me on Chrome on both my laptop and iPhone.

    It wasn't secure enough to keep the journos from peeking in though.

    Firefox from Ubuntu works just fine. I am not overly excited by the security angle. I have a 'soft-ish' password for this site that I don't use elsewhere so if it is hacked, it won't affect anywhere else. (I do the same with facebook and other similar sites - I am assuming that someone will hack the password files of these sites so I make sure the damage for these will be self-contained as the password is for that site only. - Oh, and I do not allow my browser to save passwords for convenience. I type them in fresh every time and clear cache each time I use the browser. Not as much of a hassle as it seems and a good way of reducing the chances of hackers getting stuff. Oh yeah - my date of birth I give when required is in the ball park of may age but is not correct. Again minimising what a hacker will get.
