Seibertron.com is now part of a more secure web

All pages and files should now be served from https:// instead of http://. This resolves an issue caused by several browsers now throwing errors when you try to login with a username and password on non-secure websites over http://.

Example: https://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/ (or the page you are looking at now)

Please let me know if you run into any errors or endless loops due to this change.

Google's blog post about this issue can be seen here: https://security.googleblog.com/2016/09/moving-towards-more-secure-web.html

Just an FYI ... some of the pages, such as the news section and forum topics won't show as "Secure". This is because of the external images being shown. On pages where external images are shown, Seibertron.com will not show as secure. This is considered normal behavior.

Good stuff! Aside: I can't believe it took this long for https to become more-or-less standard. Been using HTTPS Everywhere extension for years.
