No wonder I am the only member brave/stupid enough to log in! Wow! I just sent my password to the whole world! Ever heard of a sniffer?

Anyone else interested in taking up a collection to renew the SSL certificate for thai-language.com? Geez...

To state it another way: when I am entering my password, the address bar should say https rather than http.

This site does not use the secure HTTP (SSL, TLS, https, etc.) protocol. Since thai-language.com does not present directed advertising, manipulate sensitive personal privacy information, or directly take payments (donations are handled separately through Paypal), public key encryption is not deemed necessary for any of the site functions. Accordingly, you should not use such sensitive information as a password here.
