The forum is also now a secure site. (I didn't notice the change earlier and haven't seen anyone posting about it yet, but the certificate was issued in late December, and I have evidence from URL-related activity that "https" started around 10 days ago.)

Thanks for the change!

Yes, I've been saying on my checkin that VF seems quick the past few days too! It's a nice relief, especially since I haven't been getting error messages either.

That made me check the "New Posts" feature - that's still not working.

But that's great news about it being a secure site! Thanks for letting us know, Henry; I updated my VF bookmark.

hch - what link are you using? I still get the non-secure site. Even when I don't use my old bookmark.

On my iPhone, it still says Not Secure at the bottom of the screen. But I guess that could be an error.

I've tried both my more usual preference
https://forum.videofitness.com
and the "other" one
https://www.videofitness.com/~vfwnk/forum/

With "https," both give me the same basic signs that the site is secure, with what looks like the same details about the certificate. The same is (at least basically) true on my phone (which I use less often to browse VF, rarely to post) and with other browsers that I don't tend to use as my default for browsing VF.

The main site had been showing something different for me (about the connection not being fully secure) when I wrote my initial post (and that's why my wording was "this forum" and not "this site"), but after reloading or changing the URL, I found the same details. [EDIT: I just tried it again and got "not fully secure" again. I don't know what's happening here.]

I'll hope that everything will work for us, continue working, and get necessary repairs and updates.

When I typed in https://forum.videofitness.com, it worked, and the "site not secure" message in my browser went away.

It went away on the main page, then when I clicked on the General Discussion sub it came back to non secure.

I just got the “server busy” error message but the next time I tried I got in, obviously.

ETA: I had to change the “http” to “https” in the GD sub and “so far” it’s holding as secure. Maybe it needs to be done on my browser for each sub.

I also got the "server busy" block this morning, but it went away in a little while.
I've noticed the speed has improved lately too. I wish I could take credit, but I think it's purely coincidental! But we'll take the improvement regardless, right?
