HTTPS/SSL Transition In Progress

Tapatalk no longer works. I'm guessing there's a setting that needs to be changed or something.

 

Was just about to post regarding this also.

 

Gave a TaT issue for me, but is now resolved.

Good to know MacRumors changed to HTTPS!

Cheers

 

Yes Arn, thanks for asking! Cheers

 

Yep. Working this morning. Thanks Arn

 

I'm getting SSL warnings for https://www.macrumors.com which make you look like you've been hijacked.

 

Maybe it takes time for the change to propagate to everyone...I have no clue really lol.

 

How is that certificate valid if it does not match the domain?

 

It's a valid, shared certificate. Fastly is the CDN.

I wondered why Tapatalk wasn't working for me yesterday. Today it's had moments where it was super slow. Tried both data and Wi-Fi so it was not my connection speed. Plus other forums worked fine.

 

Yes, I found the forums exceptionally slow today (Thursday) as well.

And, I have also found the dreaded double posting to be something of an issue - a post hags, and stalls, and one presses 'send' a second time, and suddenly, behold there are two posts.

This had been a problem in the period immediately after the transfer to Xenforo, but hasn't been an issue recently. Until today, that is.

 

Ok, thanks. I still don't think I should be receiving SSL warnings and have to manually approve it. There is something wrong with their integration.

 

You're welcome. If time doesn't cure it, report here or start a new thread. It could be a caching issue.

If you ever want to test a site's server certs or a browser's SSL implementation, you can do so at the following site: https://www.ssllabs.com . It's at least a good place to start.

I didn't look too closely at the report, but MR (forums) received an A grade. The highest rating SSL Labs issues. EDIT : It appears A plus is the highest. See later posts.

After implementing HTTPS, users from/living in China should be able to access sites faster without using VPN.

 

When posting a response in a thread, I'll sometimes get a pop-up error even though the posts has gone through. It'll result with me having reposted the same message a few times because I've clicked "Post Reply" again after seeing that error.
I dunno if that's because of the switch or not. It didn't happen at all yesterday but I've already experienced it a few ties this morning.

Like just now lol. Getting the same error when clicking "More Options" when trying to upload a screenshot.


The greyed out area up top should say "Unexpected Error." I guess that doesn't pickup in screenshots.

 

I just noticed the forums are SSL now! Thank you for all your work on it!
