Forums now use https://
These forums now use an encrypted (TLS) connection, as our main site and control panel do. Any time you visit an official NFOservers page, you should be served encrypted content.

How very cryptive.
Re: Forums now use https://
I was never really a fan of https on forums, mainly because my users aren't very tech savvy, and they see the yellow padlock(since forums contain user-content like sigs or embedded images) and think something is wrong on our site.
I am happy the forums use https now though, the more secure the better

The yellow padlock is annoying, I agree. Unfortunately, there's no way around it.

It's only yellow when you are viewing a post but everything else is green for me.
Re: Forums now use https://
It is yellow whenever the page contains content delivered from an insecure source. This usually means embedded images in signatures and/or posts, as I said before.theRadAleks wrote:It's only yellow when you are viewing a post but everything else is green for me.

Bravo, good move.
Re: Forums now use https://
Xenforo forum software gets around that by proxy/caching all the images on the forums locally, and serving it over HTTPs.
Very neat feature!
