Doesnt really concern me but out of interest what would need to be done/ paid to get the little padlock next to the site address?

Welcome to our brand new DonsTalk Aberdeen FC forum - our first big update to the site since we started in 2002. We've tried to take as much of the old site over as possible: All posts from the old site have been copied across; Existing members can login with their existing username and password - if you've forgotten your password, just use the reset password facility; Not all member profile pictures have come across (but you can upload a new profile picture easily); Not all signatures have come across but again, new signatures can be created for your profile; Most in-post content (pictures, videos etc) have come across; Plus there are tons of new features: DonsTalk is now fully compatible with smartphones and tablets; A whole new forum posting experience, with easier formatting controls (and loads of extra emojis); Giphy animated GIFs available for posts; Mentions - mention other users simply by typing @name - it will notify the user they've been mentioned in a post; You can embed content from YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram; You'll be able to shortly sign in with your social network login from the likes of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+; And you'll be able to share posts directly to social networks; Easy Drag and Drop uploads - drag images into the forum post; We have a whole host of new security features to make the site more secure; If you have any problems with the new site, post a comment in our Support forum.

Animated GIFs from Giphy are now available in your posts. Just click on the GIF icon in your post box.

Buzzing! First weekend I’ll be back in Aberdeen due to lockdown.
