   This is the 3rd or 4th day now that my Firefox has been refusing to load the ads at the top of the forum page and instead is giving me Insecure Website warnings and telling me that "the owner of refeeder.classicmotorworks.com has configured their website incorrectly".

    It doesn't bother me all that much really, but I'm just curious if it's only me.

    And yes, I'm perfectly happy with Firefox. Had it for years. Its popup blocker actually works and its other setup configs let me do and not do what *I* want to do and not do so I don't get spam and ads from all over the universe.

I am getting similar things with Chrome on my mobile.
I don't get warnings, but the ads don't load.

I am getting that warning banner at both the top of my screen and at the bottom.  :o It started on Monday, I believe.  ::) I too am surfing with Firefox. Having that message replacing ads is OK with me, but it would be nice to know why I should be concerned that this forum is not secure enough for Firefox.  ???  The message asks that I click on the message link to "learn more".  But I have this aversion to clicking on random links.  ;)  The message says that:  The owner of refeeder.classicmotorworks.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website. 

Should I care that my snide and snarky comments might be stolen?   ;D

I agree with the part of the warning message that they have configured their website improperly.

They left out the very important Gallery Section!

   Agree with you and Ace and Adrian and, yes, I tend to NOT click on things 99 out of a 100. Especially emails that want me to click a link and have Very Weird addresses. I just have a natural scam/spam alert sense similar to my Bullshit Meter. At the moment I'm being bombarded by Eastwoods (4 or 5/24 hrs.). They've been going to Junk, unanswered and Deleted now for about a month. They just will not stop.

     Just an aside: What pissed me off most about the online catalog was that the friggin' picture of the product overlaid the whole left half of the details page and you could NOT make it go away. I just quit looking after a while. It was not fixed the whole time since the Great Changeover.

       And the loss of all those pictures is criminal; especially for the newer guys.
