To be honest, I never even checked, it may have been https all along, and I always used http.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
17 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

A bit more information defining "It" would perhaps help.
What device, OS, version, browser app, version, anti-virus, version.
Sometimes it is just a vendor trying to sell you some "protection".
Haha...let's see. And then they gonna getcha.
Latest Edge browser on uptodate Win11pro, Norton360 with all the bells and whistles.
--> it says: The connection with this website is not safe! Translates into "it has not certificate". Translates into "it's prone to be hacked"
If I can take a guess at what you are referring to, in Chrome (and Edge since it is based on Chrome) the default for the last few years is to assume all sites should be encrypted, regardless of the site function. it used to be that you only encrypted pages that were for sensitive information (payment details, personal info, etc), which at the time was a bit more hardware intensive on the server side, which is why it wasn't the default. Now handling encrypted data is much less resource intensive (mostly because the hardware is exponentially faster, but also there are dedicated hardware ASICS for it, if you do heavy encrypted data processing) and is inherently more secure, so any site that isn't encrypted now gets flagged as such, as you are seeing. If you inspect the site URL you will see it starts with http:// which means it is not encrypted. Encrypted sites would start with https:// You can see the difference if you go to the Pelican main site which is encrypted on all pages.
In this case, there isn't a whole lot of risk in using the site unencrypted, the very slight risk being if someone did happen to snoop your data (say over a public WiFi network) they could see your username and password being sent in clear text. If you use different passwords across sites, you should not have too much to worry about, but making that determination is up to you.
I have no issues with it personally. I should also say that the people running this site should be able to switch it over to an encrypted site fairly easily, so I'm not sure why they haven't.
Of course it's not safe! The danger of catching the 986 bug from this forum is extremely high. Then your every waking thought is liable to involve repairing, maintaining, or driving a 986. Not that that's a bad thing.
The SSL cert is approaching it's expiration period:
https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=986forum.com
This isn't a huge deal, but your browser will make it seem like it is.
Well, now it's a bit more if an issue, since it is now expired. It doesn't really mean too much, but I can see the posts are way down so it's scaring people off. Someone from Pelican needs to fix it.
The login will be unencrypted, if using HTTP, or encrypted using an expired certificate, if using HTTPS, and to be safe on your end, the readers of this forum must strictly not re-use their passwords anywhere else.
Have a unique password for this forum, and change it when the site gets encrypted properly with a valid HTTPS/SSL certificate. that's my recommendation.
Until then do not do any transactions here.
