Our Security

[Mark]

In order to protect everybody as much as possible on this site I have now made the whole website run over the https protocol which encrypts any data you send including passwords when you log in of course.

This was a challenge as many people have previously linked to images off the website which are on a non secure website and this may throw up mixed content security warnings in your browser.

To combat this I have set the software to download a local copy of those images where possible so that they can be served with the other content securely as well.

I have run a script to try and automate this given the size of the forum now as it's not practical for me to investigate every post. 

I believe this was a success, however, if you do get security mixed content warnings and you believe it's because of the website then please post a link to that particular page here so I can investigate.

Many thanks in advance.
