That's not an acceptable answer. I just go to another page too, but most
people will not. The fact they have secure methods of logging in means they have
the capability to do it here as well. Any hole in security makes all of us insecure
– not just those who log in with the insecure page.

Security is a requirement for all sites. This is not something that should ever
be seen as optional. Ever.

This is highly disappointing.

  As far as I know, the main page has never been secure – at least not as long
as I've been a member. Given that this is where most people log in, this
is a huge problem. Their credentials are being sent over an unsecured connection.
Given that this site has had hacking issues in the past, one would think that
this would have been addressed by now. I'm disappointed to see in the new
design that this issue has not been addressed.

Not only is this bad for Bricklink's current users, but it makes the site
look amateurish to potential members, which in turn keeps them from being customers.

Please address this as soon as possible. Security shouldn't be seen as an
optional feature. It should be seen as mandatory for every site.

I already addressed that when they released the preview site.
I was told that this is not part of the redesign.
My workaround is to have a bookmark to MyBrickLink.
If not logged in it gives you a https login page (as it used to).
