The ReLoaded forum does not appear to be secure, as I accidentally accessed my Acount Details I am worried about this forum ??.

Howdy,

That's ok, isn't it?? As long as those Account Details are yours and not mine or any others.

If you mean.. i went to the website and i got in, without logging on. Then that's your browsers cache.. it holds on to these kind of things (credentials, passwords, logged on websites). You did log on before, must have. Could have been the 'old' TGC forum also. It redirects credentials to the 'new' forums.
Check your browsers options/settings for clearing your cache on exit. That is.. If you don't want this to happen. I myself unchecked, i want this to happen

If in case this is a public computer, you need to aknowledge yourself with browsercache, the how and what.. think about all the things you log into.. make sure the browser is cleared before you walk away.
Take care.

Grts,
Anubis

What are your concerns about the new forum, I don't understand fully?

The reloaded forum is the exact same code that you are using here with a few updates. It is programmed to automatically link your TGC order, TGC forum and FPSCR accounts together into one place. This may be why you are seeing your account data.

When I Log into my Account I do not see any padlock in the Browser Bar nor any HTTP in the Link in the Original Forum or the Reloaded Forum.

If as you say the Reloaded Account Information is really in the Old FPSC9 Forum, why no apparent security or am I wrong ?.

Nothing you do will be private thanks to NSA.

Bad joke. Sorry.

Did you used to see "any padlock" in your browser bar in the past when using the forums? I noticed you've been here quite a long time as well.

You should never have seen a browser padlock on any of the TGC forums as they do not use SSL certificates. This does not mean they are insecure as none of your data is actually being passed to the main TGC website.

All that happens is you login securely at TGC then your login id is shared nothing else.

Don't worry about security if someone ever got hold of your login id it would be utterly useless without them first logging in with your full email and password over at TGC.
