SSL/TLS/HTTPS and Board Emails
Posted: Sun May 03, 2020 12:30 am
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to give you all a little update about some technical stuff that has changed this past week.
Reddo and I have installed a new SSL/TLS certificate on the ToO that enables secure connections via HTTPS. This change gets rid of the "insecure login page" warning that you might have seen and encrypts all traffic with the ToO server. That's pretty great!
The one little thing is that you may get a warning that parts of a page are insecure here and there. This is because many sigs and embedded images in posts are linked to using HTTP instead of HTTPS. This isn't a big problem. Just try putting "https://" at the beginning of image links (instead of the usual "http://") when you change your sigs and embed images in the future. Otherwise, no big deal!
The other change is that we have board emails back!!
Can you believe it?? It's crazy!
This means notifications, password resets, and everything else are now going to be no problem! Remember that you can adjust what emails you receive by changing your settings in the User Control Panel.
I hope that everyone enjoys these changes as we work to improve the ToO!!
