Any chance of getting https/SSL enabled? Certs are free nowadays with things like letsencrypt, and it would make me feel way better about using (and perhaps contributing) to the site Smile

IMO not likely as there was a thread here recently about browsers warning on sites that have password entry forms but not use https.

IIRC in that thread the admin just brushed https off as unnecessary.

Soon after I posted a reply in that thread explaining that using https would be a huge boon to user security and privacy (i.e. not transmitting passwords and other form data, like e.g. private messages, in plain text over the internet), the thread was deleted, imagine that...
Please don't be a creep, that will only come back to bite us all in the ass.

Huh. I had no idea there were free SSL cert providers. May as well!
