Hi Randall,Please consider making this site https. Right now it is only http; (s stands for secure), which means that connections to this website is not secured/encrypted. That means it is possible to glean credentials (usernames/passwords), IP-addresses, activity, etc off of the website as we connect to it. Encryption of connection (https) ensures more Privacy. I feel Privacy here is necessary for people to feel like they can be completely open and honest with each other. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6073543?hl=en Best wishes, Sibyl IP: Logged |

I'm considering it. But three things come to mind:1. We don't store credit card or other confidential info. 2. There has never been a Password breach in the 19 years we have been running. We also have a pretty good firewall. 3. The https protocol was created by the NSA and put into the free market, so that government agencies can easily hack those sites. IP: Logged |

NVM: thought I'd move it here as it could use a better title and is a more specific question anyway: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum25/HTML/005594.html IP: Logged |
