Chrome reports whyzzat as a phishing site as well.
Also so looks like http://whyzzat.com doesn't redirect to https://whyzatt.com - may be an issue too.
And Chrome is blocking flash automatically on this page.
 
Just got redirected to an ad site clicking on a forum link!!!!!

edit --
On second thought - I think that was opened by another page and I paranoidly attributed it to whyzzat. I might be guilty of regularly having too many tabs open on my browser.

Either the site's FTP got broken into, or the fact that I haven't upgraded the software in like 3-4 years allowed someone in. I hope it's fixed, and I've reported the fix to Google.com who was the site providing the nice red banner for us. Hopefully they'll remove it... See other thread.

One problem with the site is that it doesn't redirect to https. Even if you explicitly type https:// in the url it comes back http
 
I thought that all sites using HTTP only were going to be marked as unsafe by the major browsers? If Wayne needs a hand implementing SSL, I'm more than happy to help out.
 
The problems persist. Still http for a start. That should have been simple to fix. Trying to use https:// explicitly is still seems rewritten to http:// ? Is the .htaccess hacked?
Oddly Chrome reports that the site has a valid SSL cert, yet attempting https:// still results in the https:// part of the url being crossed out in the url bar. Mixed content?
And the google safe browsing site specifically complains about https://whyzzat.com/js/audentio/tactical_light/backstretch.min.js?_v=33389ba1_1.5.0.1 which is the script that puts up the background images, I think. Don't know if it's compromised or just known to be a problem.

Firefox has other problems. I was unable to create threads or edit my own posts because the text edit widget would not render.
If I specify https:// I get it (and the cert is good and all seems well) and now the post edit tool works and shows up just fine! Firefox tries to protect the mortals in a different way?

When I look at a page load in Chrome under https:// everything comes in https except google fastbutton which 404s - Interestingly the url bar isn't saying "Dangerous" anymore - just "Not secure".
