i just went to convert my account and when i clicked the button a windows pop up appeared that said "you are about to be redirected to a connection that is not secure. the information you are sending to the current site might be retransmitted to a nonsecure site."
i clicked no because i wasn't sure. i just don't want my cc # getting out there. so what should i do?

It sounds like the form submission went in over ssl-http, but the "secure server", as its reply, redirected you to a page on the "unsecure server". That's a pretty standard thing to do. I wouldn't worry about it.

Bob's correct. The conversion page and the various other account pages are secure, but in a few cases AFTER you've posted to them and the transaction if complete, you'll be re-directed to an insecure confirmation page. As it is your account is converted, but since you clicked No I guess you didn't see the confirmation page.
If you change your mind, you can make additional changes to your account by clicking on Account Summary under Your Account in the site menu.
