Forum now uses HTTPS

Post by sp3ctre » Mon Jan 01, 2018 3:39 pm

From today the forum is setup to use HTTPS. There are several benefits to this, not least your login credentials are encrypted (helpful on untrusted networks).

As a side effect of setting this up I have had to change the cookie settings, meaning you may need to re-login. It may also help to remove any bookmarks you had setup (links to new topics etc) and re-create them.

Yeah, the forum has supported HTTPS for a while, but now it is being enforced... well, mostly anyway, there are still a few issues with mixed content where people have embedded http content (usually signatures), but shouldn’t cause too much issue
