What is up with the firewall on this site, coming up not secure!!!!!!!!!!
You will only need a secure site if you are making an online purchase. Anything you post on here can be viewed by the public, hence "not secure". Don't put your bank or credit card details on a post and you'll be as (in)secure as everyone else who uses this site.
BSA Super10 addict, other BSA's inc GoldstarSE, Original (Diana) Mod75's, Diana Mod5, HW80's, SAM 11K... All sorted!
dodgy config on the webserver.
It's only using HTTPS for some bit of the site, not all pages & elements, so chrome flags the whole site as insecure.
Feel free to use https://www.airgunbbs.com/ if you want the fully secured version, though it wont load right in the browser.
Given there's no payment portal and very little in the way of personal data it likely doesn't matter.
I don't really agree with the "no payment so no need to secure site". As the site is not encrypted, it is much easier harvest ALL the log-ins, passwords and user name (some of which may be in use elsewhere), emails, town (as required by AGBBS) and other personal information.
The BBC, for example, uses HTTPS protocol, because that is the expected standard these days. It's full of public information, so why bother?
Let's say somebody was hooked into your wi-fi, they could see every non-secured site you visit, like this one. They could also in theory access your log-in details and use them maliciously. Not likely but possible.
It is also much easier to redirect users to an "imposter" site when using non secure HTTP.
It's cheap and easy to secure a site these days, so why not do it?
That's why I log out of this site when I am not accessing NAG or sales...

99% of users who don't have any idea how ( or why to) do this, a savvy person could still hack into WPA/WPA2 with some handy tips from your friend YouTube.

At least if pages accessed are SSL encrypted, only IP addresses can be seen.
To the OP, this has nothing to do with firewalls That "protects" your computer but not the wifi router.
If you watch this, you will understand why I have tape over my laptop webcam. It's so easy, it's scary!
