Sorry if this is off-topic, but can I ask cybrjackle/jlc why the picture in the sig pops up a security notice?
There's an image in your sig called http://www.ichthux.com/files/buttons/jesus.png and when Firefox tries to load this thread, it gives a warning: "Unable to verify the identity of Raphael Pinson as a trusted site". Which is weird because it's only http so as far as I understand shouldn't be trying to verify identities and certificates anyway. Any idea why this is?

No idea. The board administration will elaborate the issue and how/if it can be fixed.

I also get it.

It's because it's self-signed, and the persons name has been put instead of using the domain name.

Since it is doing that now, I removed it.

Thanks, jlc.
