But ... but ... but ... I *need* my medals! I hope the data is stored! Somewhere! And can, no, *WILL* be implemented later! I demand!

Make the CBJ-thingie work on this 32/8 if needed!

The data is safe. It's just displaying it on the forum profile that I currently can't spare the time to implement.

Rumour has it, he's programmed in MD.

I just want to point out that "Not Xenon_Slayer" was created in 2002, and the only post they've made in that entire time is the one above.

That is a SUPER long con, yall. Respect.

I'm loving the tabs and search bar in the preview picture.

Are you dissatisfied with your Artists or why do you want to shoot them to the Moon?

Good spot! haha... release date, good one, we all know it's a lie

Now if only we had one of those computer programs like in some futuristic detective movie scenes where they "enhance" the image, go to a 360 view and can magically somehow see data that isn't there in the original photo as if they were stood in the room at the time...

E: May I make more suggestions or should I wait for the forum upgrade?

Post by **CBJ** » Fri, 21. Sep 18, 22:51

Nobody is stopping you from making suggestions. Whether anything can or will be done about them in the time available is another matter.

HOLY @$!#!

Milestone: I'll live long enough to see the site upgraded!
Way to go Egosoft!
"Mobile Friendly" too!
I'm plumb choked up...

(Happy tears)

Edit: @CBJ
I promise not to use reCAPTCHA so you're safe... For now.

Hurray Egosoft!

As a mobile user the consideration there is appreciated.

(Maybe now I won't be locked out when my mobile carrier bounces my IP adress around like a @$!# ping pong ball!)

Yeah!...for the new search function!

Turmfalke2 · Post by **Turmfalke2** » Sat, 22. Sep 18, 09:27

In that case..

Right now both egosoft.com and the forums default to http. Since you are already using Let's Encrypt there is little reason not to redirect all http traffic to https. Currently most of the links within the forum are https, but some like the FAQ aren't. If you are using certbot with webroot-path you want to exclude .well-known/acme-challenge so the auto renew still works.

If you enter into a contract which requires you to send us your payment information (e.g. account number for direct debits), we will require this data to process your payment.

Payment transactions using common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are only made via encrypted SSL or TLS connections. You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser's address line when it changes from "http://" to "https://".

In the case of encrypted communication, any payment details you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.

You probably want to remove the SSL part here. SSL has been broken & deprecated since 2015. The payment card industry security standards council demands that no payment information are processed through SSL or early TLS versions after June 26, 2018. In the best case this is misleading, in the worst it can be pretty costly mistake. Please ensure you are only using TLS 1.2 or higher.

The forum has been set to default to https for quite some time. Are you sure you're not just using an old bookmark?

This is most likely just an outdated message, but we can check. Thanks for highlighting it.
