Hi,

I just tested your site.


Warning popup is mainly because Opera doesn't have root CA certificate
in the settings. I personally actually dislike to have
so simple 'approve' button in UI at all. It should be only 'Close',
and if someone want, one can add CA certificate using Settings.



Hower in my case, when I was just looking at this security
popup, a page for no reason just refreshed and popup
disapered and appered again. It repeated about 5 times
without any my action, and then in the end Opera shown
that it cannot finish securly transaction.

Why opera keeps refreshing page, which was not loaded yet
at all (even no request was sent actually)?

Regards,
Witek
