Folks, A significant server upgrade was completed this morning, as always please let me know if there are any residual issues. Cheers Mike

Updated.  :orly:

Yeah, I have to admit, despite it all I had a little laugh myself.

I don't believe in coincidences, but I don't believe in fate either, so I guess I'll chalk this up to good old fashioned bad luck. Our hosting service had "an unrecoverable issue with the underlying hardware" today, and flushed our server without prior notice. Luckily, I run multiple backup...

Folks, for the first time in a long time, good news. According to our monitoring tools, Army.ca had 100% uptime in December. That means that for the entire month of December, the server was never unavailable.* For the keeners in the group, our monitoring report from 30 Nov to now is attached...

Seems to fit in this category as a minimum.

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish our visitors a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I hope this time finds you with loved ones and some time to unwind and relax. It has been an eventful year at Army.ca, with some significant server upgrades, important security improvements, and of...

I completely understand that even $30 is not doable for all, and there is no pressure. My view is that users should be the last to pay for the service. I would much rather have advertisers support the site where possible. Gear retailers, kit shops, etc. typically get very good value advertising...

Bingo. Our SSL (security) certificate is issued to Army.ca, not forums.army.ca. In this case the warning legitimately indicates that the certificate does not match the site you are visiting.

Fixed. :)

Thanks, I upgraded the database today and this is related. I expect to have it fixed tomorrow. Cheers Mike

The exact wording or a screenshot of the warning and URL you were visiting when it appeared would help a great deal. Might be useful also to know if the warnings always occur from E.G. inside DND or another org, in case they are trying to proxy HTTPS and inserting a problem. I'm pretty sensitive...

Thanks... site shows clean though: https://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=army.ca

Interesting, I haven't seen that, but I wonder if you get that message when the site is overloaded or unavailable, in lieu of a more general message. I believe that's an Internet Explorer message, anyone seeing security warnings from other browsers as well?

Well that would be disappointing. That they are starting to catch on, that is.

Should be less of a risk now than before, as all data is encrypted. Unless the risk is that they can't tell what you're doing any more. :)

Folks, A quick note to let you know that all sites (Army.ca, Navy.ca, Air-Force.ca, and Milner.ca) now default to secure mode using SSL. This change means that email addresses, passwords, posts, etc. are encrypted in transit between your decvice and my server. If you have any problems please...

It's a fair assessment, and I recently considered shutting down the Politics board as well. However after convening a committee to discuss, and after five readings, I decided to open a second Politics board instead. Very bureaucratic of me don't you think? :) All kidding aside, the reason is...
