Craig Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Good Evening! The forum was migrated to a new server a few moments ago; as part of the move, I have taken the opportunity to configure and enable SSL. SSL is slowly being adopted as the standard connection now, and although this is just a small forum, we are just as much a target as any other site. So you can now go to sleep in the knowledge that every word you post, is done so without anyone listening in!!! I believe I've got everything configured correctly, but please let me know if something doesn't work as it did prior to enabling SSL. I have been advised that IE running on Windows XP may not like the configuration due to the site being connected on a shared IP, but XP support expired earlier this year, so no one should be using it, right?! FYI - If you haven't already checked the certificate for details, www.startssl.com is where it came from. Any 'human' can sign up, and once validated, you can get Class 1 certificates for free.

Irene Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Morning Craig! Is there anything required for the individual Member/User to do? Any settings to adjust/check in the various browsers in use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Morning Craig! Is there anything required for the individual Member/User to do? Any settings to adjust/check in the various browsers in use? No action required by the members. While performing tests, one little niggle appeared, that was when viewing a page in IE that had content (images as an example) that were linked from another site. As these images were over normal HTTP, IE popped up a message asking if I wanted to display content from non-secure sources. Since hitting the allow button the first time, it hasn't reappeared. Google Chrome continued without any prompting. If this gets raised as a common query, I'll look to reverting back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Craig, I am experiencing extremely slow loading of pages. Is there any connection with the recent changes? It has been slow for some time (for me), but this morning it is almost walking backwards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Looks Ok for me, but I haven't been active lately due to domestic problems. Latest in the saga is that herself fell in the bedroom 3 weeks ago and generated a 3 in cut over her eyebrow - 11 stitches (2 am). Last Saturday 4 am she fell and dislocated her shoulder and chipped the top of the humerous, Been a nightmare lately. Got to see to her again now - will due an update in the lounge.

Irene Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Craig, could you please check the 'video/media/YouTube' capability, post your recent upgrade. Perhaps it's me, but I don't seem to be able to do it. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
