Got it yesterday AM but nothing since.  Never thought this was secure anyhow.  

Focker

Yeah, must be a vanilla thang.

saluki2007

Nope, are you on a work computer?  Maybe they installed some kind of new web filtering software.

Ladeback69

Nope.

SemolinaPilchard

No.

egghead54

yes!

The only warning I ever received about this site was that it leads to walletcide.

ToTheMax

No, but I don't use Firefox.

Salmonegg

I get that if I specify https:// instead of http:// in the forum's URL.  Are you using an extension that would force a secure connection, or maybe Firefox does that by default now?

I did a few days ago. I just assumed Kamado Joe was behind it

I often get the warning when I click on a result returned by google, for example I typed this into the url window "eggfest georgia mountain eggheadforum.com", then clicked on the second hit found, bam...

I'd just click on 'Advanced', then 'Proceed to ?????.com (unsafe)'.

Not exactly the same thing, but one night my brother emailed me about something he had seen on my computer and asked me to send him the link. I did, and he opened it at work the next day. It was the Naked Whiz's site, and that resulted in a visit for him by his companies porno officer. He said that about a month before that, he and some of his co-workers were talking about mistakes made while surfing the net. Someone said always type into a search engine what you are looking for, do not do a straight xyz.com because you may end up where you don't want to be. They gave an example of WhiteHouse.com. The actual site is a .gov. Some fool didn't believe that and types it in, and BAM, there comes the porn police.

The tin foil doesn't work against that. I will try peach butcher paper and see if that is the ticket.

Huh.  Normally that only shows up for me on the porno sites.

Firefox 52 has implemented warning for websites that use a username/password without encryption.
https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2017/01/20/communicating-the-dangers-of-non-secure-http/

This site is an example of that. While this site can be browsed via HTTPS, the certificate it is signed with was issued for *.vanillacommunity.com, not for *.eggheadforum.com. In other words, it doesn't have its own custom certificate, it relies on Vanilla's default cert. 

Moral of the story, don't use the same username/password combo here you use for important stuff (email, banking, etc).

Is "password" a good choice for a password?  I like it because I can always remember it.

It works, but that's a lot of letters. I find "1234" works pretty well.

SaintJohnsEgger

Nope. I tried Chrome, Safari and Firefox. All work as expected.
