Is this at my end or does it happen to everyone? I'm on a different computer than usual and when logging in Firefox (even with the HTTPS everywhere plugin installed) complained that the page is not secure. Not until I manually typed in https:// I got the comforting green lock thingy.

Not that I care that much about my PA account or use the same password anywhere else but isn't this something to potentially be concerned about?

Parts of this page are not secure (such as images).

Same thing has been happening to me using Chrome for the past month or two. Pretty annoying needing to manually type it in each and every time I log on.

Happens on both Chrome and IE11 for me. So many bugs and annoyances have taken hold on here just lately...M@X - where are you? Disapprove
