“Not Secure-daz3d”... why do I keep seeing this on iOS?

McGyver

When I’m logged out and visit DAZ I keep seeing this...

I’ve mostly noticed this when I was outdoors and figured it had to do with public WiFi...

But today I noticed it at home... so I checked on what that could mean and found this on Apple’s site...

 

“When you visit an encrypted website, Safari checks the site’s certificate and warns you if the certificate is expired or illegitimate. Now with iOS 11.3 and macOS 10.13.4, Safari also checks if a website that asks you to enter password or credit card information is not secure because it's unencrypted.

If Safari detects that the website is not secure, do not enter your information.”

 

Obviously I’ve entered my information to be writing this... but “If Safari detects that the website is not secure, do not enter your information” sounds kinda ominous...

Anyone care to weigh in on this?

when you enter a site conventionally ie... htpp://.... you are entereing as a non secure guest which is fine... when you go to purchase, you should login which which have the https://...  which will be secure.  For browsing, you don't have to worry.

It's mostly the images in the forums that make it not secure. But only in the forums. When checking out I always check and it always is secure.

Adding to that,  images and links in signature bars affect the secure site definition as well.

I logged out and deleted my cookies after I wrote this... I use a saved bookmark to visit the forums, so I clicked (actually “tapped” as it’s iOS/touchscreen) on that and didn’t see the “not secure” this time...

So it’s images and banners that make safari flag it as “Not Secure”?

I only noticed the warning when went to sign in... I wonder if I already had the tab open to a forum page with a linked image or weird banner on it.

Ok.

Thanks.

EDITED TO ADD... 

I logged out, deleted all website data and tested it again (3X)... it seems it only flags “Not Secure” on The Commons... All the othe forum links like Freebies, Art Studio, Technical Help, etc, don’t do that.

Also, if I go to the commons and see the warning, then click on the store, (all without logging in) the warning goes away after I come back from the store.
