Securing association web sites

[simoncav]

Hi all,
If there are any webmasters out there running association web sites with member areas protected by passwords (inc possibly this one?) you will need to seriously consider converting your site to be secured with HTTPS very soon.

Google and Firefox have announced that upcoming versions of their browsers will bring up alert boxes to the user when they browse to non-secure websites asking for passwords to access certain areas.

This could cause a lot of confusion to members, so it's something those running BKA websites might want to address fairly sharpish.

Safari?

Not sure, but given that Chrome is possibly the most popular browser out there, others are bound to follow.

I plan on buying a certificate for the forum over the next couple of weeks.

Following some of the more recent posts here ... are not some forum members already certified?
