Not true... you get a "Not secure" flag in Chrome, if you use http://www.ecfgrading.org.ukThe warning only appears if a user enters the wrong URL
I'm using Chrome and the former address works fine but the latter one produces the warning. I've no idea why it's different on your computer though.AndrewBanks wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2019 7:32 amThanks for the reply
I understand the sentiment, but...

Not really an excuse to be honest with full SSL just the way things are going browser wise and clearly it should be fixed.Andrew Walker wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 4:27 pmThis reply from Dave Thomas, via Andrew Walker in the ECF office ---
The SSL certificate is used to encrypt data transmitted between the user and the web site. There is no facility for confidential data to be passed between the user and the grading website - therefore using HTTPS (and thereby accessing the SSL certificate) is simply an unnecessary performance hit.
The warning only appears if a user enters the wrong URL - the correct URL is http://ecfgrading.org.uk, not https://ecfgrading.org.uk
