There's a move to expecting websites to be secured by an SSL certificate by default (particularly if there are forms to be submitted). Previously, unsecured sites appeared normal with secure sites being distinguished by a lock icon. Most recent versions of various browsers are now defaulting to labelling any site without a certificate to be tagged "not secure" (even if it's not necessary).

Could be SSL, but can you click on more info and post the results. Just want to make sure it hasn’t been blacklisted for any reason.

I tried that before, and again now, but it wont show me anything besides the URL.
It appears only when I'm on mobile, and only when I press the username area to type in my username. Only just started happening today as well.

Yeah I think all browsers are now mandating that anytime you pass through a password it needs to be over SSL encryption. I'll work towards getting a certificate in place.

Sorry it took a while but should be fixed now.

Still coming up on iOS/Safari. Although I have noticed the same "website not secure" notification pop up on some other sites too when logging in while using Safari, so perhaps it's a an iOS/Safari issue, especially if you've applied a fix and it's still coming up...

Could be caching issue on your device.

I've just checked and the certificate is now valid.

For the past week or so, McAfee Firewall is blocking me access to this site.

It keeps reporting an intrusion is being detected, I have to manually allow each time.

This is the only site the Firewall keeps blocking.

Anyone else having this issue?

Nope, I just keep getting the issue I posted about above ages ago. But doesn't surprise me, this doesn't seem to be the latest version of phpBB.
