Hi,

Im not sure if this is a design issue or not but when visiting my order page in IE7 i get the following warning >
http://www.voidhosting.com/phishingsite.gif

Is this a flaw in the way my page is designed?

This site has a signed SSL cert theres nothing dodgy about it.

Im worried that when IE7 goes mainstream this will stop potential customers signing up.

Youch that doesn't look good, sorry to see that. Have you searched microsoft.com to see if there is a submit bugs area for IE7?

What SSL cert company did you use?

I have yet to see/try IE 7, so I can't help you there, but do you get this error when viewing other sites with SSL that need personal info?

That's why they call it a 'beta', although IE7 is really only an 'alpha', IMO. What I'm saying is, you can't expect the brand-new, untested, just-released-to-beta phishing filter to function flawlessly right out of the bat. My gut tells me they're spending far more time making their 'usability features' work instead of bringing it into compliance with web standards. So I'm sure the anti-phishing filter is a daily area of testing and improvement.

As a suggestion, remove the PayPal/CC logos and any associated markup, and try again. Somehow, they've decided your page looks like a fake bank. Maybe even try changing 'ModernBill' to 'llibnredom' to see if the word 'bill' has something to do with it.
