I see this on mine too Greg.  Do you rest of you see the NotSecure red triangle on your browser above?  Dennis we need your input please!  I don't know if this is new or not?

They do the same thing on Simply.  I always thought it was to let us see that anyone anywhere can see what we say.

I agree with Liz and it's been there for a while.

I can ask on Simply if you really want to know, Greg.  There is always at least one Admid on there.

  It's still showing on mine,but not highlighted in red now.
So it's possible it was always there,or for a long time and i never notice it.

If i click on it this comes up.

Your connection to this site is not secure.
Do not enter sensitive information.
Example-passwords,credit card info.

Says 2 cookies in use.
I have my tracking prevention set at balanced.

WAIT,now it's red again. ;D

Opened up on a new tab and it's not red on that one.

Hahaha, yep the connection to Mugwumps has never been secure like a connection to your bank or when you are making an on-line purchase.  It's not really an issue here as we don't buy or sell on the site.

I could setup an SSL certificate that makes all connections encrypted in an effort to make connections secure, but one link to an out-side photo or website and the security is gone....

It's really not something we need to worry about.
