So RC do you think the security warning could go away once we’ve replaced the banner (which will happen very soon—we have a new banner). Or do you think all the profile pics will be a problem if they’re at Photobucket?

I think images from photobucket (and maybe other places) could cause issues - any image hosted as http will. However, the warning shouldn’t be for every page once the banner is fixed and that’s the easist for me to fix without having members re-do avatars and searching through years of posts for any vulnerable images.  The likelihood of a hacker trying to use an image vulnerability is pretty low so by fixing the easily found banner I think it will be fine. Some of the avatars are stored on site, so those won’t be an issue. I could load the others to our site and prevent new users from uploading their own, but I don’t think there would be a way to prevent someone else from using your avatar if I upload it to the site. I can also look at the settings for members posting pictures and see if I can restrict future images to https.

I think the last thing is the only thing that really makes sense from a time investment perspective.

...re: images

On the site/forum settings that admins can see, there might be a check box for only allowing https embedding. It's a pretty typical setting, but not sure if you have it on your dashboard.

If not - I also agree that it's not worth the time to cull avatar images and such vs the actual risk of bad behavior by someone intending to do something bad.

I'm not seeing the not secure warning anymore and seems to be running a bit faster

Still have it here.

Love the new banner but why does it go back to the old one when I log in?

7 months later I figure it out.  I was using the Curve Theme it is easier on my eyes. 

Well I just switched to this on that it appears the majority here use and finally, when I am logged in the site is secure. 

The blue is very bright to my eyes.  Any idea how to dim it?

So I'm having this problem now.  I'm clicking through, but that is a pain for every time for any page change.

Things I have tried - clearing cookies and cache, accessing the site via Chrome and Microsoft Edge on the computer and Chrome on my phone, hard restart on the computer. (turned it fully off and then back on.)

If anyone has other suggestions, I would love it.  :heart:

I still have to go through a process on my laptop to get to any page here. It’s better on my phone.

Hmmmm. It happened to me on Sunday, but has been fine since. On Monday morning, I got the receipt for the domain renewals, so I assumed the domain certificates had expired over the weekend and that’s what the problem was.

It might be a cache issue for those who are still having trouble, but I will reach out to our service provider tomorrow.
