So the only thing insecure about it is the traffic across the wire isn't encrypted between your browser and the forum servers.
You are just starting to see it now because the browser companies have finally started trying to get non-technical people to understand what they are doing, how they are doing it, and possibly who they are doing it with.
Since all you are sending/receiving is ending up in public anyway, no issues. You'll note if you log out and log back in that your login is processed via HTTPS. No issues here, just change in browser behavior.
