Is this something new or am I just noticing it?
Hi, Icaro!
Just wanted to mention that SSL is active on Bring4th.org and the store, but not if you log in through the forums.
Without getting too into the weeds on the technical details, SSL requires all images on a site to also have URLs that start with https:. We allow images to be uploaded to the forums, and people also link to non-secure images, which means SSL won't work without throwing warnings at you. Since we don't want this to happen during forum browsing, we enabled SSL on the front page of bring4th.
So if you want to log in securely, simply go to
https://bring4th.org.
We are hoping to have the insecure image issue fixed with the next version of the forums, but since we don't deal with financial information or sensitive/compromising data on Bring4th, we opted to go for user experience over whether someone's conversation is encrypted.
Soon, all of it will be encrypted (SSL) by default, so hopefully this message will become moot soon enough.
Thanks for the question!
Steve
