Further to Jan's comment.
We have just installed an SSL certificate on the DPF domain. It causes all communication between DPF and any connected users to be encrypted and certifies content as being the responsibility of the DPF domain owners. The Certifying Authority only certifies content from the DPF domain.
We have had requests to provide Facebook connectivity (ie the ability to connect DPF to one's Facebook account) and have just done so. The downside is that its functionality can push information onto the DPF site. The certificate code knows this and issues the warning you see. You should be able to tick a box on the warning notice to the effect that you should not be warned about the DPF site again.
As Jan says - the same applies to other social networking site gizmos. I've quizzed vBulletin about it but there is nothing they can do. It is a function of the way SSL certificates work. Either - or I'm afraid; for now anyway.
