The Accrington Web site does not (yet) implement a secure web connection which would be indicated by a
https://www.accringtonweb.com address and is therefore reguarded as insecure by most web browsers and the warning indicates this. In the short term this is not serious as no financial transactions or other sensitive data is being passed across. After all you want people to see your posts, the easy way is for them to simply use the web site as you do, the hard way is for them to intercept your insecure connection but why bother its all publically available anyway.
In the longer term it will become a problem as most web browsers will gradually start to refuse to connect because they will fail to establish a secure encrypted connection. I assume however that the site admins are aware of this and will take care of it in due course.
