The site isn't HTTPS by default. If you think your words here are more precious than gold, be worried. If you think some evil hacker might steal your identity and post something nasty, be worried. If you think some black ops government group is following you around, be worried and wear a tin foil hat. If you plan on posting your social security number or credit card to the board, then https is the least of your worries.


When you sign on here, you should fully qualify the url, ie, https://www.peachparts.com/shopforum. That should make the warning go away.
