Let me cover everything here in stages. First: the site does not use full HTTPS. Second:there’s really no reason for it, here Third: if you use basic standard security practices on your own, like not repeating your password that’s your daughter or sons name on each and every site, worst case you simply need to contact Chris or myself and reset your password. Fourth: seeing a warning, or not, depends on the browser, your settings, your platform (including OS), add-ins/extensions, security settings of your browser and system, etc ad nauseam!
Yes I’m aware of the S-Now, HTTPS everywhere... etc movements. I firmly remain convinced (a decade later) it’s overkill. It saps bandwidth. It increases processing requirements; basically it’s more work to protect... what? To get anything information wise from communicating with BoardSort would require someone actively looking for it. From your end. And if someone is looking at your, well, nothing, you’ve got a bigger problem than just a single “insecure” web forum!
Finally, as Chris notes above, a system software upgrade is in the works. That upgrade will bring the site to the most current SSL version as well. As he also noted that’s a rather large undertaking to modify a basically pre-built package into a custom site wide platform.
