There's something new here you can help us check out if you have a moment, as thanks to the work (and patience) of Frans, we now have an SSL certificate, which will support secure connections to the site. While we don't store any particularly sensitive information here, it's a much better practice to transmit logins and passwords via HTTPS, so this could be considered long overdue. You can now access the site via SSL, and if you do, hopefully you will see things exactly as you do now. As far as we know, the only hairs at all out of place now are how the images for the Amazon buttons are called via HTTP, which could cause some browsers or security software to warn of mixed content. We're looking into how that can be worked around, but other than that, if you do notice anything odd or different when using HTTPS, please let us know so we can work it out before we make that the default method for accessing the site.
