Upgraded from my old iPhone 4S to an SE and now I get a message that says..” WEBSITE NOT SECURE” when I go to open the forum on my phone.
Is this an issue with the new mob who host the forum or my new phone being paranoid???

No , using the same app as I always use.
No other sites or apps I’ve accessed give this message, just the forum.
All was fine earlier in the day with my old 4s and all apps, contacts, sms etc including all my 100 or so links saved to the screen where saved to iTunes and downloaded into the new phone.
Latest iOS was updated so it’s strange that the only time I get this security warning is on this very TRX forum an nothing else.
There seems to be a few bugs already since the forum change over and people have been diligently sorting out, so I’d hate for my information to influence the next US election...
Maybe I’ll change my username to “ Rocket Man “

It's your phone being paranoid.
The forum software uses http and not https when you log in.
It 'not secure' in the sense that https is 'more secure' and some of the web browser developers are pushing for everything to move to https versions
This in itself is a good idea, but not easy to implement.
In the worst case, some miscreant might be able to use a traffic sniffer to copy your username and password, then log in to the site pretending to be you and make disparaging comments about our bikes.
I'll look into the software settings and see if something can be done.

That all makes sense Dicky.
Thanks for that mate.
Press on the app shortcut to open the link and all is ok.
Press the login and when the username and password page opens that’s when the warning appears.
Once logged in it goes away.
I’ll cover my log in details with my hand like at an ATM. That will stop them...
