Very true.
Hey, while I’ve got you here, one of my posts got a lock with a circle and slash icon on it. What’s that signify? And is there a page that explains what all the icons mean, colors, etc?
That means the link you posted isn't secure (not HTTPS)
When you want to submit a link that starts with http:// try to add an s (https://) and if it works, submit that instead.

I should have been me descriptive. Take a lookie loo at this screenshot. It’s in the title.
That's what I'm talking about.
It's a non-secure link as the url you've shared starts with www. instead of https://www.
Ah yes. I understand. Nice!
Not sure what browser you are using, but most of them have an option that will upgrade http to https automagically.
I put your reply under AOU. I’ve got it figured out now. Thanks for trying to help.
I have never understood the point of encrypting traffic from a public website to your computer. Seems like a waste of CPU cycles. I guess if you login, like poal, ok. But if you're just reading the news, why bother?
I understand what you are saying and partially agree. But... It's all about privacy. Everyone should be able to consume data without having to use their privacy as payment. Yeah I may just be reading news from some random public site, but that doesn't mean other people should be able to know what I'm reading.
