    Default Is this phishing?

    Well I know when I am here looking at posts it does not switch to a secure site, and also the www. is missing. Don't click on the link, I was doing a search on google, and this is the link google gave me that is supposed to be our forums. I clicked, and it said the certificate was invalid, and I noticed it was polkaudio.com, not www.polkaudio.com. Then I noticed https instead of http.

    This is the link, do not click on it, I don't know if it is safe. https://polkaudio.com/forums/showthr...=50838&page=42

    Just a heads up to watch out when you are looking up info on Google.

    Here is a screen shot with the url highlighted.

    Yeah, not sure why the s is at the end of the http, if you take the s off of it, it just goes to the thread:

    http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/show...=50838&page=42

    With the s on it, firefox says its untrusted I suppose because it can't find a certificate maybe??

    https is what the internet uses for secure connections like for banking info, and sales and stuff of that nature.

    You did more than just take off the s, you added www. to the front of polkaudio.
