Sometimes I do worry about the amount of personal information there is 'floating about' in (or is in 'on'?) the Internet. We all realise that identity theft is big (illegal) business nowadays and that it has cost some folks dearly - and not only in financial terms! Anyhow, thanks again for your speedy reply on this great site. Mike Many thanks for the info Gary.

With regards to the https being crossed out with a red line, it would be interesting to know what browser you are using. In a browser like Google's Chrome it means that there is something wrong with the site certificate. This can happen if their certificate has expired or is for a different domain or is a wild card certificate for multiple domains. I have had a problem sometimes if I login a domain without using the www as the certificate is registered for the full domain name. Gary Mike,

I have noticed that sometimes a site can be an https, but it has a red line through it (Toys R Us) is an example. What does this mean? Thanks for a great first post.
