I assume you are using Chrome, its Google that started this off, initially for sites where you enter a password or card details but eventually for all sites, effectively it means we have to spend money to buy a security certificate and then modify our site to deliver the pages as HTTPS at the whim of a megabucks corporation. But it is in hand.
I just have tried the Haworthia site on an Android tablet and there is no warning so Google have not been consistent.

What I was more concerned about was the issue we had a while ago with a script on one of the branch sites that caused the bcss.org sites to be classed as dangerous by McAfee. The new proposal would appear to allow more people to create content so potentially increased possibility of something being created that is deemed unsafe by one of these bots.

That I believe was as a result of a hack on one of the branch sites because they hadn't kept there software up to date, however the option exists to allow editor rights but any changes or new pages will need approval before publishing, something i plan to use at least intialy.

Would it be possible to just click on a photo and the website does what is needed so others can see your photo. At the moment you select a photo wait for the green bar then nothing happens, no information nothing. it is very off putting.
