I usually use Opera, alternately Firefox and neither have any issues. FYI. For lots of reasons, I suggest NO ONE use Windows Internet Explorer. Just my opinion. The two I mentioned are free.

I use Window Internet Explorer and no clue how to any other browser. But I get the warning every time I go to a new link. Telling me "this page contains both secure and insecure items, do you wnat to display insecure items?" And I click yes or else I am "stuck" there. Annoying.

Dawnmileymad:

Seems it is principally an MS Internet Explorer Issue. I can't find a way of making an exception for a single site, though it will be possible somehow.

Anyway, here's how to prevent those warning messages for IE. It involves a global option - ie it will disable such warnings for ANY site that has mixed SSL and non-SSL content:

1. Select Tools > Security
2. Make sure the left-hand 'Internet' icon in to top box is selected.
3. Click 'Custom level' in the lower box.
4. Move the right-hand scroll-bar to slightly over half-way down to find an option labelled "Display Mixed Content"
5. By default the 'prompt' radio button will be selected - CHANGE IT TO "Enable".
6. Click 'OK' > 'OK'

Bingo! - no more warnings - for IE anyway.

It does confirm that it IS an SSL - Non-SSL mixed content warning though.
