It appears that with "mixed mode", Chrome doesn't like it at all. Chrome
gives me a warning about lack of security and recommends I go elsewhere.

I am able to bypass the warning and go there anyway, but my address bar
shows "https://" in red with a red slash through it along with the padlock
with a red "X" across it.

The pictures do seem to be scrolling though...
