    Congrats on HTTPS

    I see that you guys made the jump to HTTPS with a certificate by COMODO CA. It's a huge step forward in internet/web security and I'm thankful you guys took the initiative.

    Only thing is that right now it seems like it's on a two tiered system. I use an add-on for Firefox called "HTTPS everywhere", basically if a site supports HTTPS even if it's not the default settings or the webmaster hasn't configured it properly it will force a connection through HTTPS however the default for 99% of other users who don't use a browser add-on they will still connect by default through HTTP. If I disable my browser add-on and re-load the page it will default to HTTP. Just thought I'd let you guys know in case it's something that was missed. If it's by intention and only users who care/are in the know get to use HTTPS than I'm cool with that as well.

    That's strange, I just tried both Firefox and Chrome (latest versions) both with HTTPS Everywhere, and I still don't get a secure connection.
    When you ignore history, you become its next example.

    It is easier to control the lawful than to confront the lawless, history is full of governments that chose the wrong one.

    If the past teaches anything, it is those who ask to be trusted with power often fear those who carry it themselves.

      https:// works but it isn't being pushed onto us by a Redirect. I just changed my protocol from nothing to https:// in chrome and it works. The next stage is to make it redirect to https:// for anything.
