No SSL/TLS, but note the padlock > icon and statement, "Your personal information is encrypted..." Actually I just wanted to clarify something on this. That site actually -does- use SSL, which is what is so humourous about it. They purposely remove any indication the user has to truly verify the identity of the site and security level, and then put in a false indicator! There are endless examples of the false-padlock though. No need to continue listing. :-) -- George Staikos KDE Developer http://www.kde.org/ Staikos Computing Services Inc. http://www.staikos.net/
