TPFC migrated to HTTPS
I have migrated TPFC to HTTPS using the free SSL cert service provided by the kind folks at Let's Encrypt.
Quite a bit of work was involved, and all the content that hard-coded HTTP as the protocol type had to be migrated to the protocol-less version if possible. This is to avoid the "mix-content" warning in browsers if not all content are served using HTTPS.
If you see anything wrong, please let me know. I hope my effort and our trouble are worth it for the extra security offered by HTTPS/SSL to all of us.

Problem: I get a 404 after I log out.

I confirm what SYSTEM reported above- logging in and logging out result in 404 - Page Not Found error.

- FYI, I'm getting this warning in SeaMonkey in a few forum topics...
Re: TPFC migrated to HTTPS
It's most likely caused by forum posts which embed images from HTTP origins. Andrew can't do anything about that.Midas wrote:Andrew Lee wrote:... This is to avoid the "mix-content" warning in browsers if not all content are served using HTTPS.

BTW, clicking on the top left TPFC logo does restore control to a clean page display mode....

Yeah, that's the right answer.It's most likely caused by forum posts which embed images from HTTP origins. Andrew can't do anything about that.

Re: TPFC migrated to HTTPS
Not clear if the following anomaly is related or not to the recent HTTPS migration:
While browsing TPFC anonymously,
any attempt to step-up an app popularity (by clicking on "This app rocks!" button) fails to bring up the customary CAPTCHA verification applet.
Subsequent attempt to click the "Submit" button rightfully brings forth the following (red colored) error message:

Anyone else observing this issue ?"The verification code is incorrect! Please try again. (reCAPTCHA said: incorrect-captcha-sol)"

Re: TPFC migrated to HTTPS
Seems like there hasn't been any new post since Oct 29.
Anyway, I posted a test post in the 1by1 topic to check. The field was immediately updated.
Strangely, after I deleted my test post, the field didn't go back to "No post". Instead, it is now showing "Oct 29".
Anyway, looks like problem fixed.
