The only time you pass any "sensitive" information on UKB is when you register / login to the forums, and the "blanket" warning you're getting is because the information being passed isn't encrypted. If you were providing credit card information, that would be a different matter!

Having said that, I do intend to implement (soon) the new level of security that most browsers now demand.

Cheers,

Much appreciated Pete. I’m not a Facebook fan, which has various groups, so I was very happy to find your forum and further my learning and interest. I think in the past I’d not have mentioned web security but it was in a recent Apple up date and so I thought I’d ask since it waved it up in big red text. Very happy to be here. Thank you for your reply.

I get this all the time on my browsers. It's nothing to worry about.
