I am using HTTPS but get the annoying caution warning (or even big red
X warning) when using the chrome browser when there is unsecured
content in the page. This can occur if even one http:// <img> is
being used, e.g. a profile pic from twitter. Or if you are loading
javascript from an ad server. I looked for a more appropriate forum
because I realize this is a Chrome issue but could not find any.

I have been able to get away from some of this by redirecting from my
own https to the http ... this redirection Chrome does not detect;
unfortunately, the ad server disallows it.

There is no warning in Safari.

My customer is complaining that the https warning makes my content
seem less secure to others.

Any ideas out there.

Hi James,

This is by design in Chrome, most other browsers do not show warnings
for this. You must be using all https content to remove this warning.

I am having the same problems.  My e-mail and Google voice both show that they are insecure.  I even get a banner across the screen warning me of this.  Can you at least direct me to a webpage that explains how to secure my communications.


Thanks!!!
