Is Anybody Else Getting This "Not Secure" Message? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Apple recently put out a new release, and now I get "Not Secure" as part of the website name, on this site. Does anyone else get this, and do you know if it's because this isn't an https site?

I'm getting the same message as well.

I've been getting it for quite a while now.

Yes I've been getting that notification for a few years now. I made a thread here http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/...98#post5229998

I think it is due to the lack of https on the site but it's probably not a big deal.

I agree, this site doesn't need to be encrypted. I think Apple used to just show an unlocked padlock (and on an https site they show a locked padlock).

When using a browser such as Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge, I don’t get this message.

Not only am I getting that, but I can't access it through Internet Explorer, I have to go through Chrome like a homeless person (just kidding).

No it doesnt.. Its insane how many ppl are being scared down this control path!!!!!

Makes it harder for those of us on older browsers that cant read the new certs!!

BOTTOM LINE IS: HTTPS IS NOT NEEDED ON A SITE LIKE THIS!!!!!!! (Def not forcing it)

cellar.org (VBB) has HTTPS but they dont block HTTP (Niether does hipforums.com/forum (Xenforo))

The whole thing is sickening that people can be controlled and led so easily!!!!!!

This site did not all of a sudden become UNSECURE... Its just stupid scare mongering garbage meant to get you doing what they want!!

I'm using Opera for a browser at the moment, and SitcomsOnline is not secure on there either.

Same with Chrome.

https is mostly for banking and retail sites when you give your credit card information. I know many big sites like ESPN.com haven't switched over to https yet. I know the site is secure and the passwords are encrypted, so we've never had any major problems.

We bought a SSL certficate, but it still needs to be installed and configured. We will probably have to move to another server soon, so I'm going to try to get everything done then. It's a bit complicated to set up because all of the http links will need to be changed to https and all the http pages will have to re-direct to https. It will help more people find the site when we switch to https because the search engines seem to rank https sites higher.

When are you planning on getting all of this done?

TJ · 04-16-2019, 01:30 PM

It will probably be done near the end of the month. It will probably take 12-24 hours to do everything.

It would be really nice if this was all fixed, because I'm getting tired and annoyed of seeing the Not Secure message on just about almost every browser I use.

AB · 05-20-2019, 03:47 PM

I've been getting the not secure message for months but today I got this message which kind of freaked me out. Is it safe to keep using this site?

It's still safe to use. That's the same message I got when using Webroot and uninstalling the program got rid of the message.
