  • Site Security Risks

    Google is going to start flagging sites that use http instead of https on pages with login or other user input. Which is every page on Apolyton. So we need to change to https site-wide or Chrome and Google search will soon be flagging the site as a phishing site. We may be out to ruin people's lives here at Apolyton, but not by stealing their personal details

    So, sometime soon we will be changing servers.

    We have a license for vB 5 still. From what I've read it's now a usable product. It will likely have fewer compatibility issues with https than the current version and the flaming pile of turds extensions that we have now. But some of those pile of extensions may not be available for vB 5. Also it is easier to get running on nginx, which is the server I'm most familiar with. I only use Apache for Apolyton, the rest are nginx.

    Anyway, I will be setting up a vB 5 version before we need to decide. In the meantime, here's an example of vB 5 with a custom theme: http://vb5.pixelgoose.com/

          There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

                      I wonder how many of the new extensions Trump has bought up of TRUMP.[ext]?

                      trump.trade is available. Due to the HUUUUGE tarriffs that will end all trade under Trump?
                      trump.party is available. The RNC should quietly buy that one up before he gets any ideas about changing the name ...
                      trump.islam is available. That one is n ever going to be allowed to be registered in the US ...
                      trump.lgbt is TAKEN. Is he really a deep cover gay agenda agent?
                      trump.pay is available. He's declined to take all but $1 of trump.pay after all ...
                      trump.us is TAKEN. We have already been trumped, so no need for further requests!
                      trump.voting is available, as Putin has put that one back on the market now that the election is over.
                      trump.wedding is TAKEN. When the inevitable next one happens, someone's getting very rich! (But not as rich as the owner of trump.porn!)
                      trump.yachts is available ... does he not have any?

                        It would be nice if you could activate the [Tweet]-Tag (to quote individual Twitter postings) and the [s]-Tag (for strikethrough) after moving to vB 5

                          Ahh, is the side effect of this breaking www.apolyton.net? I was curious as to why all my bookmarks were down.

                            Indeed. That would be quite useful redundant.

                              No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.
