We are now running HTTPS instead of HTTP. I believe everything has been addressed that was giving errors. (I'm showing secure among IE, FF, and Chrome. (It'll be tomorrow until I can test from a Mac)

What does this mean? Without getting to technical, this means that your browser is now connected to the server over a secured connection. Previously, all the data sent back and forth between you and the site was unsecured and unencripted. This meant that someone could play man in the middle and intercept data. This now means your browsing of the site is much more secure. And you'll probably stop getting so many browser alerts. :patracy:

What does it NOT mean? This does NOT mean you should post/PM any sensitive data. (Do not post anything you don't want on the web, IE bank account info, passwords, exc.) This should be common sense, but I didn't want anyone to have a false sense of security.

Lastly, I've had to do a LOT of cleaning to make this work. I *think* things are in good shape now. But if you encounter a page that alerts to being insecure or partially secure, please post a link up here.

First issue to note, Tapatalk. If you can't connect via tapatalk, clear the app cache on your phone and try logging on again. Seems to be a common problem for users. Unfortunately that's the "fix". I understand why they'd code their app to cache the address, it's not often you'd be changing protocol.
