As I have written before, I have been asking for full https:// on the main game site and these forums. I just sent a new request.
It isn't hard.
The main game site drops in and out of https often--and when it does happen it is always upon saving a setting or draft selections. Something is misconfigured.
Second, these boards continue to pass all traffic in the clear, which is one reason why we get those spam bot posts. There is no valid reasons for the posts to be in the clear with http instead of https.
By the way, even private messages (PMs) are in the clear and not https.
I am attritting out, but this was one of the reasons. It is so simple a fix yet the lack of action, coupled with the prior issues with credit card compromise make for a security posture that has no place in a digital era.
Only way to reach me is email or in-league mail from now on.
