going https
#1
I have been considering if we should get our forum to use SSL, which would turn our URL header from http to https

It will cost me $60 a year, and probably half a day sitting in front of the computer to do it.
Benefits are, secure login (the only place we access sensitive info, really), and more threads would appear in google search results (since Google prefers https now apparently)

What do you guys think?

the forum software is expecting a major upgrade this year too (I hope), so I was kind of thinking maybe I should do both upgrades at the same time...

Good idea. I read somewhere that Google Chrome is going to start being more annoying about http sites.

Going to https doesn't need to cost a penny, thanks to https://letsencrypt.org/

As long as you're good with the cost and extra effort, I think it could be beneficial, particularly moving forward......

https it is always a tunnel so +1 to security and by setting it up you gain +2 to fame +3 to skills and +4 to mind damage Tongue

Google is huge! even if they are a bit political in ther advertising and searches lol. I say go for it! This day and age we have to stay on top to be successful and secure.

Wink PS: I'll buy more lipo straps soon to help offset the cost Wink
