    HTTPS support for the forum

    Hi Forum admins,

    Can we get this forum to support https for SSL/TLS encryption? This would help a bunch of us folks that might be behind firewalls or proxies that scan unencrypted content. The main site supports https, it should be a fairly easy change to make, and SSL certs for non-financial sites are cheap/free these days.

    Cheers!

    HTTPS is a must coming up to the metadata laws coming into effect. Even a self signed cert would do for the encryption. Certificates are now less than $15 a year or free when the letsencrypt begins

    https does not make it slow, it does stop caching but for a forum thats ok.

    Letsencrypt is now open to the world. Most cpanels should not be supporting the free ssl cert which then auto renews for you.

    A self signed cert will certainly have our browsers complaining ...

    You can get free SSL certs nowadays that won't pop up errors like self-signed certs would. Metadata is still captured regardless of SSL, but at least having encrypted password transmission would be a plus!!

    Make sure you don't share usernames/passwords between this site and others, asking for trouble.

    At an absolute minimum, the login pages should be served with HTTPS. Currently, user passwords are sent over plain text. This means that it is trivial for an eavesdropper to steal logins and passwords. This is Internet Security 101 - do not send logins and passwords over plain text!

    Bumping this, as the world really has changed and HTTPS by default should be standard for websites these days.

    If you need help with the setup, the links below should help. Otherwise PM me and perhaps there's a way I can assist more directly.

    There is no legitimate reason not to have every website as full https these days.

    Bump... many web hosting companies even offer free SSL (via Let's Encrypt) these days.

    HTTPS is also broken for me, for what it's worth.
