Is there anything missing or not comfortable?

Please post your thoughts here! They will be greatly appreciated!

I have a filter that blocks "off-site" and what I call "under-site" images...

If the image does not have the EXACT same host as the page itself, then those images are not loaded...

Which means, for example, that ...i-mg s-rc='style_images/1/t_reply.gif' border='0' a-lt='Reply to this topic'... is filtered out and replaced with [Reply]...

The image does not originate from the website host - therefore, in my eyes, is a webbug... This may or may not be true, point is, it's true for me, therefore filtered out and replaced with text...


Which brings me to why I bring it up - with this particular filter bypassed on this forum, I recieve a security alert security certificate warning on this site - a warning I "should" only be getting if I enter into a https:// site...

Therefore, the question becomes - WHY is this site trying to do something via https://? For so it seems to be the case - but I "could" be wrong...

Tracked it down...
It's that PayPal image - blocked by the "under-site" filter...
