Default Not Secure Warning

On my iPad running Chrome I get this warning about HDForum not being secure. I don't get this warning on any other website. Is it me, or a forum glitch such as a corrupt ad on the site?

This site has a valid certificate, issued by a trusted authority.

This means information (such as passwords or credit cards) will be securely sent to this site and cannot be intercepted.

Maybe someone at cloudflare are doing something around certificates or SSL to tablet devices. I haven't ever seen anything happen on my PC.

Are you in mobile for full site mode? I don't get this warning on my iPhone and it's in mobile mode for this forum. My iPad is stuck in full site mode, and I can't get the menu to switch it to mobile. The menu is just gone.

I am using a PC so assume full site mode. The site has a valid certificate and is secure.

If a reference is made to an outside source that is http and not https you will get an insecure warning. This is typical if an image is used and it is not inside the https domain.

This screenshot is from my iPhone. It does not have the issue my iPad has showing as not secure using Chrome. But, my iPad does not display this menu either.

I can click this menu on the phone, switch from mobile to full site mode, then the menu disappears from the phone too until I log out. When I log back in it goes back to mobile mode.

If I log out on the iPad, when I log back in it has stayed on the full site mode.

I'm on Firefox on a PC. It also reports an insecure connection.

No such a thing as a secure web sight or page.

It’s odd that some of us have the problem and some don’t, even when using the same device/browser. This is my iPad.
