Enabling HTTPS ?
Hi,
I was wondering if there was a schedule or plan to enable HTTPS for the board? Charles |
Forwarded to Titus, he may take awhile to answer. :)

Thanks :)
One of my New Year's Resolutions is to be a little more tight on my electronic security, so I went through the various forums I post on asking to turn this feature on. Charles |
Hello
Charles no because we don't do ecommerce here so there is no imminent need to have htttps. However yes there is a plan as a general upgrade but I can't specify a date. Titus |

None of the forums I frequent use https. All of the online vendors I frequent use https. I didn't think there was any need for https unless you were entering payment information. Could you explain more? |

Thanks Charles. Though I don't know what most of that means. :lol:

The quick summary is that HTTPS protects more than just e-commerce.
It means it would be harder for someone's account to be hacked, and if people wanted to pass on PayPal OT Interac payments through PM's they would be secure while doing so. It means that a malicious ad provider could not inject their ads instead of the ones the forum sponsors pay for. Charles |
Lost me... :biggrin:

What would the site use it for?
Isen't this a node.js thing? Where you require("https") and then set to a variable and extract something from a website like the weather or something |
