    I am currently getting the message from Firefox that logging in via http to the GPCO site is not secure. When I switch to https I get the following message: Your connection is not secure. The owner of gpco.fullydefiant.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.Maybe it doesn't take much hacking to disrupt a web site that has insecure login.What steps would need to be taken to get the website properly configured?

    gpco.fullydefiant.com is on Bill Bartlett's server.  It's this forum.We will be moving the forum and the other main site to a different hosting site soon.For the moment, make sure your anti-virus protection is up to snuff...it appears you can get in ok.

    Thank you for the reply. Yes, I realize that the GPCO site is this forum.My anti-virus protection is updated nearly every day. Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that anti-virus programs do not protect against login information being stolen from insecure sites. Both the http and the https route to GPCO are insecure.
