EMD is a legacy website with no ongoing development for many years. The owners do not want to spend time doing anything that is not 100% necessary to keep the site running. Just be grateful that the site has not been turned off like so many legacy free sites.
That said, setting up Let's Encrypt certificates, with the script for automated renewal is pretty straightforward in most cases, and would certainly be nice. |

And it's in the wrong forum! EDIT: This thread has now been moved to the correct forum, it was originally in the Fastmail forum!
It's the way the website has been coded, for example - looking at view page source: Quote:
https://www.emaildiscussions.com/ Whenever you subsequently click on any link, it's back to http:// Whether or not that's the fault of Edwin or the software, I don't know. Last edited by FredOnline : 28 Jan 2022 at 03:13 PM. |

HTTPS protocol would not protect you from gotchas.

I am on firefox right now and am testing the https side and it IS working 100% for those who want to use it..
https://www.emaildiscussions.com Does keep me on the https side for most of my session but I dont usually use it,just testing it. |

I am also using Firefox (97.0.1), my bookmark URL is https://www.emaildiscussions.com/
As I am typing this post the URL is http://www.emaildiscussions.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=625007 I opened this page by right clicking the scroll wheel mouse button on the thread title to open it in back ground in a new tab. The behavior is not consistent. Most oft the time when I repeat the above steps for other subjects to open them in a new tab, it does come up with https, but not always. That this site is not 100% https does not bother me at all. The site is open to everyone for lookie-loo access. When I log in, and submit my password it's always https. This is the only time the secure connection is needed anyway. Last edited by chrisretusn : 24 Feb 2022 at 02:38 PM. |

It is not logging me in when I visit it via HTTP since I am logged in via HTTPS.

Clicking on a forum section link at the top of the page redirects me to the HTTP version.
