Default to HTTPS?
« on: March 03, 2022, 05:39:41 PM »
Currently if a person types in wxforum.net or www.wxforum.net in their browser, they go to the unencrypted http URL.  Since Google and browsers are placing more emphasis on websites using https, what are the thoughts and opinions on having wxforum.net default to redirecting to https?  If people search for wxforum, the search results point them to the https URL already.

Ok, good idea.  I've enabled the http->https feature now.
Thanks for the suggestion.
