OK. Thanks Mark. I will continue looking. I'm using Chrome and I get the full secured site on that page, but will install Firefox and try it. We are out this weekend but will make it a priority.

viewtopic.php?f=29&t=37&p=580#p580 for reference.
@HexTank, @1024MAK, are you seeing the same issue on this page:
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.php?cat=4 -- the Contact page?

Also, which version of Firefox are you running, what operating system?
Are you running any plugins or extensions that may inject markup on the page, for example an "Instagram this!" button on images?

I've checked the pages listed on Vivaldi, and Firefox on my Mac (El Capitan), and no warnings produced.

Me too. :-)
Just trying to replicate the problem, then we can figure out what's going on.

On the machine that I'm currently using, the browser is Firefox 56.0 (32-bit), which is running on a Linux OS.
Note that Safari on an iPad mini does not produce this warning.

The Firefox browser does have various plugins, but none inject mark-up on any pages and it is fine on other secure sites.

The pages I did my testing on are the forum index page (index.php) and the FAQ page (app.php/help/faq).

On the index page, the only non https:// links that I can see are:
http://cookiesandyou.com/
http://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/ (which is what you get if you click on the logo)

As this forum does not allow attachments, I can't directly attach images showing the problem.
If you want to see the images, let me know and later I will post them up elsewhere and link to them (I wonder if that will also add to the problem :mrgreen: ).

“There are four lights!”
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :dance
Looking forward to summer later in the year.
