Wrong thread. If you would like to start an SSL thread, please do so.
You speak like you know what's happening on the server.MavEtJu wrote:People keep on bringing this up, they expect some kind of security when entering personal details.caughtatwork wrote:None of our forum, site or shop use SSL.

Even worse, from July 2018 Chrome will mark non-HTTPS sites as "Not secure".
Let's Encrypt provides free SSL certificates and has a zero-administration method to update them.
There is really no reason any more to not provide a secure connection on places where people expect them, specially not when you are in the donations season.

There's reasons, and those reasons are being looked at. It's not a zero config situation for us as we've got other things using certificates hanging off 443, subdomains and 3rd party software at the moment.
Does it need to happen, yes. Will it happen, yes. Is this the right thread, no.
