Since the website change fairly recently whenever I log on I get a warning that it is an 'Unsafe connection'. Does anyone else get this or know why it happens?

I wouldn't believe anything that appears regarding the operation of the website. This morning the Login appears to broken, as does the unread posts cookie. This website just goes from bad to worse.

I presume that this is when accessing the internet from site. All free access wifi is naturally unsecured and hence open to all users ........ hence the unsafe warning.

I read somewhere that some Firefox users were getting this message recently. The padlock in the address bar denotes security I understand. What security levels/risks are involved I don’t know. The main club site has one, CT & BBC weather does not as below

CT is padlocked on my laptop at home. The only time I see this is when logging onto the unsecured network on site which is open to all and sundry.

If you click on the symbol eg the padlock or it will give you further information about security. The Club would have to conform with security standards to use the padlock icon. The least secure would display a red triangle warning. I can see these details via my Chrome connection.

Are you on an iPad. If so I am not sure the warning has anything to do with the CAMC wifi, or whatever wifi you are trying to connect to. Since a recent update of IOS it has started showing this for unsecured sites. I just don't use them for anything sensitive like internet banking. Unfortunately to buy Wifi time you have to use the unsecured network. Although the link you put your credit card details into is supposedly a secure link.

It's the https bit which is important, this should protect financial transactions etc you can look up the meaning on the web. An update by your provider will improve levels of protection due to discovered flaws.

Also get this warning when connecting to CC wifi using our android tablets.
