I use Window Internet Explorer and no clue how to any other browser. But I get the warning every time I go to a new link. Telling me "this page contains both secure and insecure items, do you wnat to display insecure items?" And I click yes or else I am "stuck" there. Annoying.

Anyway, here's how to prevent those warning messages for IE. It involves a global option - ie it will disable such warnings for ANY site that has mixed SSL and non-SSL content:
1. Select Tools > Security
2. Make sure the left-hand 'Internet' icon in to top box is selected.
3. Click 'Custom level' in the lower box.
4. Move the right-hand scroll-bar to slightly over half-way down to find an option labelled "Display Mixed Content"
5. By default the 'prompt' radio button will be selected - CHANGE IT TO "Enable".
6. Click 'OK' > 'OK'
Bingo! - no more warnings - for IE anyway.
It does confirm that it IS an SSL - Non-SSL mixed content warning though.

Thanks Peter,
That did the trick.I would only add that in IE select tools,and then internet options.This will lead to the security tab.
Question:
I don't care for facebook,and see it as a personal information gathering site for the Govt.and more.Does this direct link into facebook provide an avenue for govt. information collection from DPF?

I don't care for Facebook either. But the fact is a vast number of people use it as the hub of their internet activity.
I take your point about Govt snooping. But it's simply a fact of life I'm afraid. The entire Internet is one vast snooping/spying machine really; especially by those with the specialist technology to undertake it systematically - by which I mean 'you-know-who'. No doubt DPF - Facebook linked traffic IS another metric for them to use but I doubt it's much of a priority. If DPF is deemed worthy of their attention, it will receive it and there really is bugger all to be done about it (though the encryption makes real-time content monitoring a tad more problematic for them).
Just assume you are being watched that's all - Facebook or no Facebook. That's my default attitude.
