As my browser now checks for insecure login I see this is not secure. I know other browsers now check too. I also know other forums have upgraded to secure logins. Can we or am I just using a non-secure login?

Re: Secure Login
Right that's it, I'm removing my credit card details right now.
Do you mean just not https?

Re: Secure Login
I means that IMHO it is simply not secure to login. Whilst I use a non-important password on this and all similar sites, it still means more hackable information. Would appreciate an upgrade to make SKCC a secure login. (Thanks in advance.)

Re: Secure Login
Basically Chrome has been updated to not allow the passing on login credentials in the clear, ie via HTTP. This site does exactly that so Chrome stops you logging on. Edge still allows it however.
The site needs to be updated to run SSL otherwise Chrome will not work.

Re: Secure Login
Right. Tried to attempt this last night without success.
IF any of you can access the site BUT CAN'T LOG IN....then you may need to clear your cache due to a setting change.
Moving forward have asked a 'Pro' to look into this SSL issue so that all will be happy and secure.

Re: Secure Login
I was unable to login this morning (using Firefox) - it simply wouldn't allow it.
I noticed that the site is served by default using non-secure http://
But if you change the URL and specifically request https:// then it works fine and serves the page securely:
So Mark, it appears that the SSL certificate is installed correctly and working.
What you need to do is set some rules so that if anyone visits using http:// they are automatically redirected to https://
You need to use an FTP program or cPanel file manager and find a file .htacess in your web root directory (usually called public_html). Add a few lines of code to that and hopefully it'll work. See here for instructions: https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/ssl/forcing-https
Also - a few other changes to make which would just make sense...
- On the homepage of SKCC wesbite, then menu link for the forum directs people to http:// so you should change this to https://
- Many of the images are hard-linked to their non-secure http:// address. E.g. images on the homepage. This stop the page being displayed securely, even though I am visiting it through https:// - E.g.

Re: Secure Login
Spot on, no redirect from HTTP to HTTPS for login.

Re: Secure Login
I had quite a bit of trouble logging on until I typed < https://www.southernkitcars.com/forum > into the address bar to force the browser to use the secure page, and then the login button worked fine.
