Everyone gets this, it's because PHPBB (the forum software) is not running on HTTPS, since a few weeks ago both Chrome and Firefox have started calling all pages which post data (such as a phpBB login page) "unsafe" if they're not running on https but simple http.

There are fixes available by providing a SSL certificate for your forum and redirecting all your forum's pages to the https version, but it's not (yet) a very easy thing to do and can easily break lots of things on your forum (such as embedded images).

I'm having the same issue over at the dutch/flemish pipesmokers forum where I'm an admin.
