Connection is not secure You should not enter any sensitive information on this site

I have this at the top of every browser when I go on the rolex forum. Has the site been hacked?

Not sure about the site but my account was hacked and an ad placed in the sales corner early last year.

From the site information screen in Chrome on my iPad. Possibly an expired certificate?

I’m not getting any warnings, but will reach out to Steve (Lol-x) to have him look at it closer.

I think I got something like this a few days ago.
I don't know for sure, but it might be some SSL connection issue.

Anyway I can assure you that there is no security issue.

Here is a screen clip that says the opposite of 'insecure' just taken from my Chrome browser:

Screenshot 2021-01-04.jpg

I think the best thing to do is when you get this message to click on the padlock or if there is no padlock to click on what appears to the left of the URL and check that it is http://rolex......

Then if there is any message to dismiss it and refresh/reload your browser.

I get the secure message on Chrome browser but when I try the Microsoft Edge Browser I get the "unsecure" message but it still shows that the SSL Certificate is valid.

I remember something like this before, and I seem to recall what happened was this stupid 'unsecure' message occurred when there was less than 3 months to go before expiry of the SSL certificate.

As the SSL certificate is due to expire on 29 March 2021, I guess this "false positive" for the site being allegedly "unsecure" is appearing.

The only cure is to:

1. Ignore it but make sure you always have https://rolexforums.com. when you log in; and

2. I will try to (early) renew the SSL certificate to get rid of this dumb message appearing.

Just another thing to do

Thank you, Steve. My browsers thinks TRF is a safe place to visit again.
