It means something on the page is not using a secure connection. It will be a users avatar thats been set as a url instead of uploaded directly to outlr own server. Its probably on the notifications drop down. Or a picture posted to a topic using the img tag where the url does not start with httpS

Not to worry though. your connection is still encrypted just that the only thing anyone monitoring your connection (im looking at you theresa may) will only be able to see the avatar or pic. The rest will be encrypted such as login details, posts you submit or pm's you send or settings you set.
