Is anyone else getting this when they log in
May not be word for word but goes like: This connection is insecure. Logins here may be compromised.
o3o

And should I be worried >.>

Just happened when I logged off to go to my side.

@immortalraven - I'm not experiencing this... I logged out and back in to check, and nothing appeared. I just logged in as normal.

@immortalraven

I've noticed the same warning, though I attributed it to a new feature being added to Firefox or something along those lines. I've seen the same warning on a few other logins and I know there was always an icon by the address of a site in the search bar that indicated if the connection is secure. So it's possible the login itself hasn't changed here on EggCave but that we now get a more obvious warning than before.

@zx-metalmonster @immortalraven - Huh, new feature on Firefox...? Perhaps I should actually update this and check again. This is getting me curious.

@sparklefox

I'm only assuming it's a new feature. I use Firefox and like I've mentioned I've run into the warning on a few sites. I'm not sure where to check what the latest updates included =P

Edit:

Actually, I have found it. Its definitely a Firefox feature.
