HTTPS

Did the switch to HTTPS actually happen?  I am still seeing "not secure" at the top of my screen.......no padlock.      Just curious that's all.

Yes it did. You need to change our address to HTTPS rather than just plain HTTP to see it.

Perhaps you could post a link. Simply adding https doesn't work and most browsers hide the http bit anyway.

Try these links to this thread:

http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php/topic,9768.msg220672/topicseen.html#new

If you go to your address bar you can scroll across to see one has HTTPS and the other hasn't. The HTTPS means that one is using an encrypted link.

I have edited my shortcut to this forum to include
HTTPS, but still get the Not Secure indication in Chrome.

I just changed my link in Firefox. It suggests parts of this page are not secure (like images). Connection partially encrypted.

It also told me I'd visited this site 15,322 times  :o.

Yes links to images downloaded locally from a third party unencrypted sites will give a not-secure indication on your browser  :-\

Okay, just tried the secure path, and it seems to work okay, EXCEPT for video links to youtube, even my own. They just show up as a blank space. As I recall, that was the same behavior that I saw back when this change was first made, and so I went back to the unsecure path to this forum. Anyone know how to look into that? I am using Firefox (latest version) on Win 10, if that matters.

Also getting connection not secure message on Chrome and Firefox
