The Board Is Back

It may have been set to no longer access sites that use http instead of https (which costs extra for websites, and some of us site owners can't afford to pay extra). There may be a setting in the browser you can change to let you access "unsecured" http sites.
So that's the reason why the board doesn't use https? I never knew that upgrading would cost extra. Theoretically (Emdeeh, I know you aren't responsible for the board, but as a site owner), would it be possible to upgrade to https if many of us contributed a one-time donation or once-per-year donation? I'm asking just because everything I've read/heard is that https websites are safer/more protected than HTTP websites. Thanks!!

Has your Chrome browser been updated lately? It may have been set to no longer access sites that use http instead of https (which costs extra for websites, and some of us site owners can't afford to pay extra). There may be a setting in the browser you can change to let you access "unsecured" http sites.
I don't use Chrome, but I do use multiple browsers on all my devices, for situations like you encountered.
I can check. It was working fine on my phone several weeks ago and it works fine on my Chrome browser on my PC. So not sure what happened. Just wanted to make sure the board wasn't down again. :-)
Did I jinx something with this post? 😂

Most hosts offer free SSL. There are options like Lets Encrypt that also offer free SSL but with a need to update every 3 months. Cloudflare has a free option as well.
I'd imagaine there would be issues with how old the software this board uses when it comes to making all pages secure. The software is now 9 years out of date.

Correct. Someday maybe I will be able to fix that.

Hi Chuck, is there a roadmap/plan that could be put in place for such a transition? And could the mods here help facilitate any work moving forward to help this happen? Could our community as a whole do anything to help this happen?
And man this place and its mods sure do live rent free in some people's minds. Once this boards issues are figured out it'll be nice for the universe as a collective whole to not be subjected to posts about "Chuckie" and the "mods" from the EH forum.
