Insecure Password Warning
I use Firefox as my web browser and recently updated to v52. When logging into LDO, I now get a message stating that the site is not secure.  Is there anything that can be done to enhance security?  Is my info going to end up in Russia?

It's a Firefox annoyance.  Chrome started doing it earlier this year as well.

We won't bore you with the whole thing, but basically:

It's keying off the site being http: not https: for a site where you are logging in. 

We can't simply change the forum to https: because then every time someone posted an image or link that wasn't on an https: site you would get an error message about that.  Simple things like someone having a link to their blog in their signature block would throw an error message because it would be linking to a non secure site

All forums are going to be going through this unless they copy ALL the linked content to the server and put it behind an https:

You can thank Google and Firefox

I expect his excellency is spying to see which LD is for him.  I am hoping to see photos of Putin's gold plated 30IB once he makes up his mind.

Thanks for addressing this.  It has been a bit of a concern.
