I have switched the website to exclusively use SSL. You wil automatically be redirected to HTTPS:// if you come in via HTTP://
Consider this a public beta, I was already running non-SSL and SSL simultaneously for over a year but due to some issues with none-SSL I now want to force all connections to use SLL.
If you are seeing any problems using the site since, well, now you can always email me at webmaster at pinside dotcom
Or post in this thread!

Thanks, I renewed last week but did not get round to updating it on the server until today!
Quoted from Pinchroma:In this particular case it would have been beneficial to only pass the auth through a subdomain limited to ssl instead of forcing everything through. Considering you aren't doing ssl offload you are going to see an increase in utilization for no intrinsic benefit.
We were already doing that, for well over 6 months. But I figured that in this day and age you just don't want any website that uses any kind of authentication to go without SSL. Why risk man in the middle attacks when the added server CPU load or network overhead is negligible? Hence this change, I just wanted to make sure that everyone is still able to access the site properly. I've had zero complaints thus far, fortunately.
Quoted from steve1515:I would love to see a proper mobile site next...
I'm working on a mobile-friendly concept. It should only look slightly different from the full version. And only the forum section will be affected for now. going "mobile" will always be a choice of preference, I hate forced mobile sites.
I didn't change much in the uploading code except for adding a caption field to images. I suggest to first try another site, to see if the error is Pinside or on all sites (another factor). Post screenshots or error messages and I may be able to help you figure out whats going on.
Quoted from Pac-Fan:I.e. I get 6 grey squares here instead of 6 pictures in Chrome: https://pinside.com/pinball/market/ad/13469
I cannot replicate this problem. 
Let's see if we can figure it out. What happens if you click this image link (one of the six thumbs of the above ad)?

Does it show or generate an error on your end?

Note that Pinside uses MooTools framework.
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:I think it's the Chrome extension AdBlock Plus (or any one of the ad blocking ones).
Ah, that explains it! That was actually a well known bug. But what I didn't know was that it was caused due to having the string "ad" in the file name. That's kind of absurd if you think about it. I will look into changing the filename for ad images. Thanks!
Quoted from aobrien5:When you go into some threads (or just pages of threads), FF gives a security warning that some content is not being encrypted. Is there a subdomain or something that is used for pulling pictures or something that's not happening over SSL?
Not that I know of, but I will check. Could you post a screenshot of the warning?
