If latter, make sure you are going to http not https as https does currently not load the static content

As a test, those not sure, try going to the OOF Shop via the link in the menu near the top of the page (or via https://shop.omegaowners.com)

Its not a complete test, for technical reasons, but should confirm if your OS/browser combination supports SNI, which is part of the problem older systems will hit.
Just tried that (i,m on XP :o), came up straight away.
What browser?
Chrome, sorry for delay, eldest lad turned up. :)

Next phase completed, do we still have our users with older devices?

If you have one of the devices mentioned in OP, and still working, post up OS and browser combo.  No need to reply if using Vista and Later, iOS 4 and later, Android KitKat or later, or a current Linux distro.

You *REALLY* need to upgrade that due to the massive holes Google keep leaving in their software. The only supported (thus usable on Internet) version of Android 4 is KitKat. Badger your provider for an update ;)

A rooted Android device or Jailbroken iOS device is akin to sticking head in sand, arse in air, and encouraging everyone and their dog to give you a good butt rogering.

But whatever thrills you ;D


So, stay CBA for longer...

Over the Xmas period, if time allows, the plan is to enforce https for this site.

I'd ask everyone to start updating their links/bookmarks etc to https://www.omegaowners.com rather than http://www.omegaowners.com

Thanks TB.  All done with me, and for once a simple process! :y :y :y

Does that mean the OOF is now a fully protected site and our personal details are going to be more secure?

This just encrypts all transmissions between our webserver and your pc/device, and proves that the OOF webserver you are connecting to is the real OOF webserver, and not an imposter.


Does it protect your personal details we hold about people any more? Probably not. Most data leaks are due to either incompitence or flaws in the software answering queries from the internet.

I like to think I have some level of compitence, and the SMF developers are generally pretty quick off the mark when flaws are discovered. But nobody could ever guarantee there could never be a data leak.
