Before logging in to this forum today, my internet provider flashed a message that if I did so, my password may be stolen as the site was insecure. Comments please!!!
I believe it's because this site does not use the https protocol.
The latest version of Firefox has been flagging this issue with appropriate sites for a week or two.
Frankly, with this site it doesn't matter to me if my login is hacked. I only use a weak password here in any event. What's going to happen? Some spambot will make a post under my name urging you to buy their prowess increasing drug.
I don't have, and shall not, invest any sensitive data in this site so it really doesn't matter but if you have provided credit card details or the like you should probably be a touch concerned.
Ideally the owners should upgrade to a secure login.
Edit: But *always* keep in mind... the internet is not a secure place use it at your own risk.

Yes, John. I do use Firefox. To Mike, yes, I too never regard the internet as "secure secure". To Macka 17, have no idea what is a "decent AV" but will ask my clever son. He is sure to know. Thank you all for your replies.

Try Google chrome. leaves Firefox and Waterfox for dead.
