[Admin Note] Apnea Board now operating under SSL encryption
#1
Information 
Apnea Board now operating under SSL encryption
After a long period of figuring out some of our software issues, Apnea Board is now running under SSL (HTTPS) encryption.

[more about SSL/HTTPS here]

This new SSL encryption is site-wide;  this means that our forums, the wiki, the main web site, our staff back-end software, the OSCAR download page, the OSCAR Mantis tracking software and other areas are all using SSL for secure logins and secure traffic, in and out of our server.

So now, all login usernames & passwords, and all traffic is encrypted and completely secure.  I wasn't worried about not having SSL that much in the past, but now it seems even search engines and web browsers are dinging us since we didn't have SSL, and we occasionally got the angry member who won't sign in under non-SSL logins for fear that his identity will be stolen or something because his browser or anti-virus software gives unnecessarily dire warnings-- but now they shouldn't have to worry about that.

Note:  when a member makes a forum post containing an outside image using HTTP rather than  HTTPS web address, then there's not much we can do to prevent that.  In such cases, the "lock" near the web address of your browser will of necessity still read something like "connection not secure" since the off-site image was posted using a standard non-HTTPS link.  But rest assured, that's only the image that's being served up under a standard connection, and everything else on the website & forums are being served under encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).  To help, if you make a post containing an image hosted elsewhere (other than ApneaBoard.com), be sure to start the link with https:// rather than http://.
