The forum software people have finally transferred all the pages to a secure https connection! This means no more warning messages from your browser saying the connection to this website is not secure. I want to stress that there was never actually a security issue: - all the pages that could include private information such as passwords (the login page for example) have always been https
- other pages, such as the home page or threads, weren't, so the warning message saying cyber criminals could steal the information you provide would pop up as you started typing, but obviously... this is a public forum so technically anyone can access anything we post. A https connection doesn't change that. Hopefully no one ever posted their passwords or family secrets!
In order for the warning messages to stay away, the forum now forces all content to load over https (also all images that are posted). If there's any content linked from pages that don't support https, that content won't load. Normally there shouldn't be any issues, but if you spot a broken image link somewhere, this change might be the cause.
