Title: login box pop-up says security could be compromised
Post by: Mr. Peabody on May 29, 2018, 07:00:02 am: Using Firefox with cursor in the username box, a small box opens up saying 'this link is insecure.....' . Does anyone else see this?

Firefox and the others want you to upgrade this site to use https.

It isn't. I was curious of your thought process.
