Re: some site security changes
(moved this to a separate thread, as you can see)
Ok, the login, signup, reset password, and validate pages now all use HTTPS (i.e. an encrypted connection),
so that's covered now as well
In principle this was a small fix (automatically redirect login and signup to HTTPS, change references
on the page to HTTPS), but it turned into a bit of a nightmare:
After making the change, I got security warnings from the browser. When checked the encryption certificates
for the site, I found that one of them had expired. Something went wrong when installing an updated certificate,
causing the web server itself to not restart (which is why the site was out for about 20 minutes last night,
around 22.00 CET :-( ). I disabled encryption altogether (causing problems for the Facebook app access, because
Facebook wants HTTPS), and fixed things this morning...
Scream if something is still going wrong for you.
(I did notice that direct login to the forum doesn't work anymore, this will be fixed)
