migraineur Posted September 25, 2017 As the title asks, why isn't this site using https yet? We need some security and privacy here. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sallubrious Posted September 28, 2017 We've talked about this before and T wasn't keen on switching it over in-case it led to dead links and database errors ect. https can provide a false sense of security in some cases though, feds have devices that can strip the encryption and some of the certificate authorities are dodgy as fuck. Most of the time https prevents eavesdropping by weekend warriors but it won't stop the feds from having a look. That being said https should be standard everywhere these days. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qwertyuiop Posted October 23, 2018 Bumping this... Defs should have https by now. Happy to assist if needed of course. But with free options like cloudflare or letsencrypt it's less than a 20 min job. -- The 'dead links and database issues' wouldn't be a thing that this affects... and regardless it can be served as both http and https at the same time. I think the users of this site deserve a better security default. Just my 2 cents. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XavierDass Posted August 29 I would also love to see this. As qwerty puts it, dead links and database issues aren't a problem for this since you're just serving the pages using the https protocol. It wouldn't even necessarily need to use https to serve every page, just in posting/messaging/transacting etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XavierDass Posted Monday at 02:08 AM I can see it attempts the https first, but defaults back to standard. I think a full implementation and confirmation would be great -- it is 2019 and https is the standard for websites, even if the content isn't necessarily sensitive.
