Is anyone using Postimages to then find that a message from Cloudflare flags the site as having a security issue?

Hello Mark, thanks for that...

I have used Postimages for some time with no problems................until today..............BUT............

I have found, in the past, that many warnings about previously reputable sites are often caused by a software update to the site reporting the problem and not problems with the site being reported on. Cloudflare has had quite a few recent comments on line about their own sites being attacked by "phishers".

I have had no warnings from my own anti-virus/security package (Bit Defender) about Cloudflare. Postimages

I had a 'connection is not secure' warning for this forum yesterday. My browser telling me the site was 'unsafe'.

Time for https?

It's overdue.

Due to the age of various components, some aspects are non-trivial.   Wrapped in with plans already published / comments made in the summer and autumn.

Given the business of the forum, the greatest risk from lack of end-to-end encryption is probably a man-in-the-middle attack that intercepts one of the more conveniently timed trains serving Melksham and takes it off to the fragrant track of the old Frome-Bristol line where the class 165 dee emm ewe is later found, quaking with fear, abandoned at Mells, its onward path having been thankfully blocked by that skeletal wagon sitting there.

Yes, I know - but if Postimages already has it, why is Cloudflare not connecting to it ? Makes me even more likely to think that this is a "false" warning generated by Cloudflare ??
