Hi
As of today, the site is running over SSL (HTTPS) for all traffic. This will ensure that communication between your browser and server cannot be intercepted by any bad guys.
When a site is running over a non secure connection (HTTP) and you access the site over a public wi-fi connection, your password and other personal information could potentially be captured from a "man in the middle" attack. There is also the danger of a session hijacking.
I suggest everyone updates their passwords.
Happy Lushing

Does ANYONE know what the Nerdy Fuck is talking about?
I mean, I know we NEED him but Jesus!
JUST ONCE, I would like to read a post by Gav and know WHAT THE FUCK he was talking about!!!
xx SF
Gav: "Fuck You."
Me: "See, THAT I understood..."
my address shows its not secure. what should i do?
The reason some profiles are showing the yield icon is probably because they are displaying images linked from outside servers.
Now that I think about it, that's probably the same thing that's happening with the "post reply". I imagine if I tried hard enough, I could find a thread with no external images in the preview, and it would show green. Odds are that someone in the thread has an externally linked image in their sig line that's causing the yield icon.
EDIT: That makes no sense. It would show the yield when viewing the thread in that case. What was I thinking? But anyway, back to my original post.
Doesn't really explain the "friends" page, though. Only thing I can think of there is that some of the avatars are external links, even though that's not common practice in forum software. They're typically copied and stored locally even when taken from an external source *shrug*
Only glanced at the gold page and didn't see anything obvious that would cause it.
I was using the new feature of trying to change my avatar with a picture already uploaded and I got an error message.
it won't let me pick my picture so I just uploaded the pic I wanted.
Sig images not showing, mentioned to Gav also.
Ok all the holes have been plugged, there should be no SSL exclusions except for profile pages with a grooveshark player. I spoke with grooveshark today, they are aware of the issue but couldn't provide a date as to when it might be fixed.
I can't watch or listen to my youtube videos?
awwww
Thank you for doing that. It appears as a padlock on mine.
