Forum not secure?
« on: April 04, 2019, 08:29:20 am »
Very recently our forum is showing the "connection not secure" broken shield in the URL bar.
Happens to me on a MAC on Firefox, happens to other members on other platforms, too.

Tried to change the URL to https   but that didn't help.

Should we be worried and can we fix it somehow?
Thanks

If you have content that is not https:// it needs to be relinked.

I don't know what or how to relink content?
Are you saying to resubmit images and/or other attachments?

Thank you for the help.
I will ask our members to relogin using HTTPS: although we have lots of threads that have attachments.

Yes your main domain does not have an ssl certificate. You should be using http://www.theoverfiftiesforum.com/
Or it requires the SSL upgrade package to get an ssl for your domain.

Okay I see that.

Where can I get the SSL upgrade package?

Cheers
