HTTPS for the forum and unsecured username/password

(1/3) > >>

Jhaierr:
Hello! The forum does not seem to allow us to use https:// as an option, and it seems that our forum username/password is sent over an unsecured connection. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) Would there be a way to remedy this in the near future?

Merkir:
I concur with Jhaierr.

Also there's another important reason to upgrade to https. It improves the site's google search ranking. In google's own words, "we're starting to use HTTPS as a ranking signal."

Let's Encrypt offers free certificates. https://letsencrypt.org/ We used it for our LARP's web site.

I don't think your host supports it directly (some hosts do, including Dreamhost, which makes it super easy) but it might still be possible to use.

Jhaierr:
Any word on this? I would love to not have my username/password sent over an unencrypted connection.  :)

OLF, i.e. Olf Le Fol:
Any news about whether it'd be possible to have this?
