justinmc Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I see that we don't have an encryption certificate at the moment... perhaps it's been missing for a while and I didn't notice? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Seacup Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Hmm. https:// works for me and doesn't show any certificate issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinmc Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Apologies, I should have inspected more closely before flagging this. The cert is there. It doesn't redirect from http to https (a current best practice), and search engine results for "heritage owners club" return the http URL, so I expect that many people are hitting the http service, which is unencrypted. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I have updated the board software this morning. This should resolve a few issues that users seemed to be experiencing. I've also changed the base URL from http:// to https://, which should force SSL. Maybe. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you did, Mr. Administrator, cleared up a litany of oddities here. THANK YOU for your efforts keeping us'ns up to date in this online world connecting with the faithful. How apropos is it that you do it on a Sunday. Hope all is well in Admin-land. Edited September 17 by Steiner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LK155 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Well, the site has certainly got over its latency tendencies, which is greatly appreciated. For a long time I've been thinking all those electrons had to slow down before they jumped over the border, but I'm glad someone found a way around that.

You are truly great and powerful. 🙂 Edited September 18 by Gitfiddler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Great. I normally only go to HTTPS sites, but this was the one exception. Occasionally a browser update would just tell me "WHOA! DANGER AHEAD". Now I'll only get that warning from the porn sites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRich Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Is anyone else experiencing extremely slow response times? It's taking a minute or 2 to load some pages. Other sites are clicking normally, it's just the HOC. I'll click a topic, go off to another site, and come back after it quits spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the inability to do so many other options, I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Its weird. Last night it was a crawl. This afternoon, it clicked in about 2 seconds. Maybe I'm logging in at the same time as all the webcrawler bots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Could be any number of things. There are some 250+ tables in the database that underlies the HOC. Backups run nightly, weekly, monthly. Could be the backups are running long. Could be someone hasn't done any database maintenance in many months (but is now done). Could be the board software really prefers/is optimized for (in recent versions) a different db engine than what half the tables are using (something someone will definitely have to address at some point, but it's kind of a pain). Just as an aside, there are somewhere north of 2.1 million rows in the HOC database, spread across the various tables. You all have been...busy these last 16 years.
