(Tip: Doing it right when you make SSL available would be to 301 HTTP connections to HTTPS, forcing instead of stopping SSL connections.) Well, the HTTPS redirect is now happening, but the base href is still HTTP resulting in JavaScript-less and CSS-less joy without overriding Firefox on every page load. Also, unless some of us (including at least one former forum admin) got put in a special group, forum database importing went even less smoothly than they expected. I'm not only unable to post new threads there, I'm unable to post replies or anything there. Possibly related, the reason I can't edit my sig there is because at least one of the preference pages, https://forums.furaffinity.net/account/personal-details, gives a permission-denied error page.

It can't escape the redirect loop. Firefox on Unix works fine. Too well, in fact, resulting in the unstyled pages and the warning padlock about mixed content. I never got around to installing Chrome on Windows, and I wouldn't use it much anyway because it doesn't have a selective JavaScript blocker either built-in or as a third-party extension. Chromium on Unix works just as hard to save me from misconfigured sites, warning about loading scripts from unauthenticated sources. This is what I'm seeing: And this is why. Look at lines 11 and 13 in the HTML source: Edit: I obviously took the screenies before logging in, but I still got the same permission-denied error after logging in.

Vallium Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I think I figured out what I want to do with the new Phoenix/FAF split. Not sure how that'll affect the community First thought was naturally trolling/lurking/ignoring FAF because naturally theres a lot of disgust towards the subpar staffing and the poor history behind it But I mean...Im actually starting to like some of the new folks rolling in already. It keeps things fresh and vibrant, and bring new friends and faces. Not to mention the art community is bound to be even more thriving with the influx of FA travelers. Phoenix has a pretty nice no BS tight-knit community what with discord and the forums. Obviously being able to build an entirely new forum out of old close regulars is a testament in itself, that clearly makes it superior. But alas, its closedness always left me to wonder if it would potentionally stagnate. Naturally I have no life so I can still view both forums whenever I hope my choosing to continue with FAF isnt somw kind of betrayal :V 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallium Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Quote Dear Moderator-Gazelle, I apologize if my comment had been viewed as 'innapropriate'. As a veteran of the forums I feel it is my duty to be a active and friendly civilian amongst the community. Keep in mind that upon submission of my post no harm was meant rather than simply stating an actual response which is prevalent among the community as a whole and is relevant in discussion and of course a fairly natural phenomenon, I did not feel that the word should have been viewed as 'innapropriate', and have never been infracted for such an action in the past. Please consider my reasoning upon future posts. With respect, WolfNight I hope this is passive aggressive enough to piss them off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was removed for "Please do not discuss administrative disputes on the forums" And the other was.. well here's what I posted. Quote This post is NOT being made to "discuss administrative disputes on the forums." It is being made to DISCUSS the staff and mainsite as a whole. 19 comments have been hidden by the admins on the recent Fender journal about the forums, and one has been hidden by the page owner. 90% of them are being hidden for answering the question of "Where have the forums been for the last 6+ months." So very simply. Where's the transparency that was promised to the userbase? Why is it that whenever someone tries to put the relevant information out into the open, they are censored/suspended/banned? Why when we have someone saying the situation was handled in a prior news post, and when it's pointed out that it really wasn't, they are ignored? And the reason from Asia Neko was, and I'm not even joking "Please do not discuss content of this nature on our site. It is disruptive and erroneous. This does not follow our rules. Your message may have been removed or altered." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
