I thought I would have a look at any competitions to enter. One is right up my street for a foreign holiday photo. Tried to look at the details and my browser came back with this message:

The owner of www.tccphotocomp.co.uk has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.

Now I am sure there are ways round this but I don't choose to go against what Firefox is saying so I won't be entering the competition. Another example of IT incompetence on here?

Interestingly the website gets £2.57 per visitor, although there aren't that many

A SAFE LINK about who owns and runs it.

We're on Firefox too and yes, I got the same message. Won't be entering that competition then!

Chrome and IE don't like it either. I will report it to Rowena for her to investigate.

Thanks for reporting this. I have forwarded this on to my colleague to be investigated.
