    Is anyone having security issues with the website?

    I keep getting bumped out, Safari tells me the website is not secure?
    Anyone else having issues?

    Not getting the bum's rush, but not to say Google is messing with our minds.

    Firefox/AVG tells me the site is not secure when on my PC.

    My guess that the level of security could be at an outdated level or the certificate is not registered with the AV giants

    I think its just acknowledging that you are entering details into an unencrypted comms chanel - BYOGuitar doesn't use https:// at this stage.

    That tells you it's not SSL certified. SSL certs are costly. Being this site has no e-commerce. The SSL is not crucial.

    Yeah, it's not a big deal for a forum tbh.
    The store has it, and that's where it matters the most

    All of the above!

    Recent Chrome updates are flagging sites that do not use encryption as "Not Secure", which is kind of correct, but not. Just because a site has SSL does not mean it is secure, just that data that flows between the website and your web browser is encrypted and can't be meaningfully viewed by any third parties (99.9999% of the time). Chances are that you actually want other people to view the data you are sending to this site anyway, so as 12thharmonic said, it's not particularly crucial.

    That being said - I'll get us all secure in the coming week.
