Author Topic: Getting warning message when uploading to iStock. Anyone else? (Read 2147 times)

This just started happening yesterday... when I'm uploading an image to iStock and I hit the "Proceed" button after browsing to the photo I'm uploading, I get an error warning message that says this "Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.
Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?"

Is anyone else getting this message? Is it something serious and I shouldn't upload images until this is resolved?

I asked this question on the iStock forum and the question mysteriously disappeared from the forum.

I got that message yesterday. I often seem to get that message with a wide variety of legit sites, so rightly or wrongly, I proceeded. (FWIW.)

I think Google has changed something in their security. I had some strange things happening too, for example the HTTPS is now crossed if some elements on a page are not encrypted. Are you using Chrome? That could explain it. Try another browser.

I was using Firefox, don't know about the OP.
IStock was hopeless on Chrome for months -could hardly do anything. They knew about it, I don't know if they fixed the multiple problems; nor I do know which percentage of the problem was iS's and which Chrome's.

Yes, I get the same message...on Safari.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I guess I'll just keep uploading regardless of that warning message. If someone grabs my images when I'm uploading to iStock, well, I guess they get a freebee.
