Just a question, because some no-https links could be malwares that could hack your computer and not able to use it anymore.

here the link of the forum:

and here the player's name:

As I said in the other topic, HTTPS has nothing to do with a site being safe or not: https://security.stackexchange.com/ques ... -or-unsafe. There are plenty of HTTPS sites with malware and phishing.

The reason that site shows up as "not secure" is because the images are still using HTTP links: http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/ ... ion_up.png. There are HTTPS links, so this was probably just an oversight: https://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img ... ion_up.png
