I just turned off the "Register via OpenID" option on the logon screen.. that will likely fix the issue with the mixed-content prompting the security warning shown in the PDF.

Yes, it's wise to be suspicious of a .pdf file (anytime).  Generally, screen captures in .jpg, .png, are 'safe' with no malware likely.

Welcome to the forum, @soggyair!  Oh, and kudos for using DuckDuckGo as your browser's default search engine.....

Thanks. You may also notice I do not use a main stream browser. But it is secure.

I tried different login options just now, right before this post. If I use the 3 login boxes at the top under the "did you miss....." i get the message I posted yesterday in the PDF. Did not use 'Register via OpenID'. If I login using the radio button, 4th from the left, after Home  Help  etc., a window pops up for the required info and I do not get the message. FWIW.

If it bothers folks I won't attach PDFs.
