    Default "Not secure"

    Hi folks, just curious about something. My browser bar is telling me that the login page for this site is not secure in any of the private pages. Just wondering if that's specific to me or a site issue and how concerned should I be? Normally any site you need to login comes up as HTTPS. Any light shed on this would be appreciated.

    vBulletin uses its own protection and does not require HTTPS. However, we still recommend that you use a different password to other sites (actually, you should never use the same password on multiple sites anyway).
