    Browser security

    Firefox says the site is not total secure. I see you use https and that is good but what about things like images.and other things? You might want to talk to Mozilla about browser security. We don't want some black hat computer hacker sneaking in here and compromising peoples accounts. That would be very bad. Maybe Micro foolish might do that but this is a Linux site.
    Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

    That message simply means that something on the page is not coming from a server secured with https. If you examine the page you can see that in all cases, the message is seen because images are being pulled from external sites. On this page, for example, you can see that the image in vinneywright's signature is coming from http://i29.photobucket.com, which is insecure. Outside of not allowing external images on the site, there is nothing the maintainers of the forums can do. In reality, this poses little security risk and I woudlnt worry about it at all.

      Ok. I wasn't sure if it was a problem. Since the main site is https then maybe it's ok.
