Title: What's with the tracking and non-secure connection?
Post by: Rieber on January 28, 2017, 02:16:15 PM: I notice a few strange notifications when logging onto this site. Firefox blocks the tracking attempts. What's going on here?

Most websites - I mean you must be aware of the controversies now swirling about Facebook - track your browsing history and offer content related to it. You should be able to adjust your Firefox security settings so you don't get such warnings.

Post by: RalphH on February 02, 2017, 08:00:53 AM: what this means is it will be relatively easy for hackers to grab any personal info stored on the website so keep what's in your profile to a minimum
