I realize the URLs don't start with www. it's just that is all that shows in the address line on my computer running Safari 6.1.2. I got to the yew dell site by googling yew dell. and the results started with www. If I type in http://www.yewdellgardens.org I get back www.yewdellgardens.org. At least that's all I can see on the contact line. If I copy the line and paste it in the http… does show up: http://www.yewdellgardens.org
And if I type in https I get (via copy and paste): https://www.yewdellgardens.org but all I see is www.etc. I'm thinking there must be some setting that allows you to see the whole address. Maybe. Maybe not. Cleared History, emptied Cache and tossed all Cookies. Get the same results. No http or https or lock showing.
