Migrating the forum to a secure protocol with your help

Dear friends, STS-Forum is needing to be migrated to a https secure protocol, it should be made soon or later but it requires a few technical procedures that I will try to manage as best as I can. Though, you may notice some changes, please use this topic to share what you think is not working correctly. Without being too much technical, it will allow the forum to show as secure in your browsers besides some few other advantages. Unfortunately, some content will be lost but I will do everything to minimize the negative effects. One of the changes is that the forum address will be modified from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] - no panic, if after some days things are not as good as desired, it can be moved back to the http protocol.
You can continue enjoying the forum as always, just give me your feedback please.

PANIC ! PANIC !

Sorry
My generation ( or some of us ) fear all changes on the internet

Good luck, dear friend !
I trust your talent

Hope it goes well, and best wishes :)

Actually, your posts are already a positive feedback. The most "dangerous" part was already done before you posted and it passed unnoticed until now. When it was performed automatically, some strange things happened on forum and it needed to be reversed. Now, with some preliminary tasks before the manual migration, things seem to be working fine. Though, it is still early, let's hope nothing strange happens during next 3 days once some more tasks need to be performed.

I cross my fingers !!!
Great job, Roger

Thank you very much for your care of the forum Roger and the important work you are doing now.
Good luck ! :)

Thanks for your feedback Andreas but these smilies do not give a very useful information.
In my smartphone it is working nicely. What is different or not working?
Do you use an Android? Is it happening in all pages or just in some specific ones? Let me know and I try to emulate it in my mobile phone.

Yes, i have a Android. I log in every day if i sitting in the bus to work. All was really hard changed. And to open the topics was strange. I dont know why. I will try it again this week. But if it is the same thing i think i will that do not longer :)

I primarily access the forum from an apple iPhone and I have noticed that the search function is completely broken and brings up no results no matter what is searched for. I don’t know if this is the proper place to post this but I figured it may be a related issue.

I always use a laptop and it works perfectly, I never use my phone because my phone doesn't have the internet

I use and android phone or laptop and have no issues. There was once a few days ago the site was under maintenence and wouldnt load but otherwise it has been totally fine! Thank you Roger for all your hard work and dedication!

Thanks Paige and Adam! Positive feedback is also useful to know. You don't need to thank me, we are all working together.

I should have guessed someone called Andreas uses Android. I used Google Chrome for mobile phone, both in mobile and standard versions and it is working nicely. Let me know if it continues slow.

Probably it is not related. At least it is not an expectable issue. I used Safari browser in an iPhone, also in both versions and I could easily perform a search.

My old computer gives no problems at all

....ahhh, not quite true.
Yesterday the storm broke the pole which connects us to the server, but it wasn't the computer's fault

i use a computer and a laptop Everything is as usual, nothing strange happens.
All is running fine.

Thanks Susanne and Yvette! When I saw what happened the first time and after reading the guide, I thought it could be much more difficult. I really hope it continues working well.

I've tried to find a configuration through the entire control panel of the forum and unfortunately I couldn't find anything to solve it.

Everything looks wonderful Roger. Desktop, laptop. tablet, smartphone checked!

Thanks Kostas for your feedback. With your experience, you surely know how to test every detail. Tomorrow is the red line, if nothing unusual happens meanwhile, we don't need to worry about it anymore.

Great job Roger,

That have i seen on my dispay in this morning

What's strange, Andreas? You mean the topic icons?

They are just like that on smaller devices e.g phones & tablets

There is no log in, no log out. I also can not see what is new. There are not all sections to see, you have to click all and to lock what is wrote today. I have not find out to send a comment. And any more. But there was also a smartphone update, so it could be also that. But at the moment i only look on my computer. And so have less time.

Thanks Andreas! The mobile version was updated not long ago. It is unlikely related with the migrating process. To find the log in and log out, you have to click in a square blue icon with three horizontal lines. Please see picture below. That's the top right corner of Google browser highly magnified in my mobile phone. You can find there also notifications, etc.
If you can't find it on your browser, try to clear the cache.
