SCF implementing https to the forums

[scottkoz20]

Members -

I am working on getting https configured on the site. It is important to get this done for several reasons: security, future growth if we put in a full storefront as well as other benefits with overall site rankings.


If you notice any issues, please post them here.

Just as an update, the forums of SCF is now a secure website (https). In your browser you will see the following (image from Chrome)

When you click on the lock, it will provide the SSL information (image is from Firefox)

there will be some threads that might not show this information; such as this thread you are reading because there are elements that are referenced that are coming from a non-SSL (http) source.

when this happens, you will see the following

Any old SCF link that had an http:// for the link has been (or will be) re-written to use https://. This would include links to threads, images stored on SCF, etc.


If you have questions, please ask.
