Quicksandfans (and members) now protected by SSL
Posted: Fri May 12, 2017 12:07 am
Hi Folks,
I noticed recently that multiple browsers were indicating that communications with QSF were not encrypted. And while SSL was traditionally used for websites handling financial transactions, it seems as if it has become technically uncool to not be running SSL on fixed sites.
So to that end, I have purchased a SSL Certificate for Quicksandfans and installed it.
The index file (disclaimer page) has been edited to now point to https://www.quicksandfans.com . However, you may not be seeing the 'secure' symbology on your browser if you are getting here from an outdated bookmark (favorite).
So, to be sure that your traffic to and from the board is protected by SSL encryption, edit your bookmark for the board from http://www.quicksandfans.com/bb to https://www.quicksandfans.com/bb
That should do the trick.
