Thanks to fattwam we now have an SSL Certificate. That means every time you go to a page where a login is required an HTTPS url will appear and a seal for SSL (Secure Socket Layer) which in turn means more security.

fattwam ftw,

what would we benefit from greater security? Like less chance of stolen passwords?

I don't honestly know the exact difference from the technical standpoint except that data is encrypted when passed back n forth.

The HTTPS automatically redirects back to HTTP.

What confidentail information is passed through html through this site? lol

It's only when logging in or logging out.

Just to clerify, you should have an HTTPS login/logout redirect to the https version of your homepage. That way the remaining secure POST data is sent to another secure page, then people can just leave that page.
