photobucket issues
bmd Sun Oct 05, 2014 6:04 pm
lads, for the last few days when i go to log in to my p'bucket account a warning flags up stating that my connection is not secure and may be open to hackers etc...i also notice the https url at the top of the page has a diagonal red line through it to confirm its not secure...i've never had such a warning before, either with p'bucket or any site... 
1. anyone else have this happen?
2. can i do anything about it?
cheers in advance...

Billy - used it yesterday and no such issue for me. Run a virus scan on your pc

Billy - Just tried logging on via Internet Explorer rather than by Chrome - same issue for me. Its not an httpS - just an http. I'm still using it but i am getting a load more annoying adverts than i recall getting in the past.

think im sorted lads, colleague advised that im running an operating system that is now old and no longer supported by microsoft, so it shows some sites as having no security, therefore it gets blocked...new upgrade required i guess...

Thanks Billy. Haven't been called one of those for a while.
Well, a few decades, to be fair!
