Why isn't this forum secure?

I'm not prying or mad or anything like that, just curious has it always been this way because I've noticed browsing on chrome for probably the past 6 months it's not secure anymore.  Reasoning behind this?

Chrome automatically flags all websites that don't use https as insecure.

  Has it always done this?  I don't remember always getting this notification on chrome.

If you try to log in using https it appears that the SSL cert expired a year and a half ago (so also not secured).

Not sure who the site admin is, but you can get free--really truly free--SSL certs from Let's Encrypt, https://letsencrypt.org/.  Following that it should be a simple incomig load balancer tweak to have all http traffic redirect to https.

As to why you didn't notice it before...  Chrome released a version last June that explicitly added the words "Not Secure" in the info part of the URL line for http sites.  Prior to that (if you had noticed) there would have been an info icon, but no text.

  Thank you for your response.  Maybe we should try to do that through let's encrypt.

I’ve made sure Rob is aware of this post so he can notify his web team if he desires.
Have you visited the Land of Redemption today?
