Re: SMF forum, need a mod installed

To: mmalmi@cc.hut.fi Martti Malmi
I'll go ahead with setting up Drupal then.

I don't think we should make the site https by default.  It's still very
unusual for the public part of sites to be https, probably because it
introduces potential technical complications, delays and greater server
load.  As a user I'm a little annoyed when it takes time to verify the
identity of some no-name site I casually came across.  For me it seems
like https sites fail to load a lot more often.

The important thing is to have SSL available for those who need it.
Those who need SSL I think know to try inserting an "s" after http and
see if it works.  SMF has code that changes all the links to https if
the URL handed in is https.

We could add a note on the registration page that if you want SSL, you
can change http to https at any time and approve the self-signed
certificate, or a link that does it, and the TOR page can mention it too.

We can look into getting a certificate later when things have settled
down.  With Class 1, no changes are allowed for a year, which is a risk
if we find issues with the current host and have to change IP.
