https

Skip I think you just changed over to the new look and when that happend every link/thread is redirected to HTTPS. I have to remove the S everytime I change to a new thread/post.


EDIT: This only happens the first time you visit that thread or post. After you remove the S and revist the post thread it's OK.

it is a complete pain in the arse though

wouldn't you rather browse the forums in https mode? I don't understand the complaint. Not being critical just asking to see if I am missing something.

Yeah, I was glad when it started defaulting to HTTPS as it encrypts traffic to/from the webserver.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Secure

"HTTP is insecure and is subject to man-in-the-middle and eavesdropping attacks which can let attackers gain access to website accounts and sensitive information. HTTPS is designed to withstand such attacks and is considered secure (with the exception of older deprecated versions of SSL)."
