On the omnibox of Google Chrome, there should be a "Secure" word that indicates the site is secure.

As a whole, mwomercs.com is secure. However threads don't have that.

And in Edge I do NOT have a secure indicator, but the URL starts with HTTPS.
hmm.

Ah, that will mean the PAGE is secure, but some of the referenced content is not.

A pile of calls to various google.com domains, and a call to imgur.com

Firefox also says parts of the page are unsecure, but I don't know enough web witchcraft to contribute more than that. =)

This is being caused by 2nd-party/3rd-party failures to call or return data in 'https'/Secure mode. Unfortunately, that includes people's images in their signatures, including your own (as of when I'm typing this, anyway)... I've got the same issue on another site directly because an image provider won't function in https mode. It's been somewhat annoying, but until website developers have enough respect to all go 'https'/Secure, we're all going to have to live with it. -_-
