Hammer. :rofl: I miss Dosster. :(
Anyway, if it's working, let's not give it amnesia by hitting it again. Thanks for coming back to fix this, Anna. Hopefully, we'll take care of everything else around here.

Definitely some good bug flogging going on here.

Looking at the HTML now it looks pretty clean - the only http:// link back into the forum I can see now is the "This is an adult forum!" banner at the top of the page, and that safely redirects back to corresponding the https:// link. That's in the "sweeping the cobwebs from the back of the closets" category of cleaning...

Great job Anna! Thanks for enabling SSL.

In case you are using configs of the forum to set everything to https, I can recommend adding a htaccess redirect at the root of the file system to redirect any http to https. It'll ensure that an SSL checker will give you a 100% score, and it will catch anything you may have missed. I can look up a .htaccess for you with the proper code in case you need it.

Thanks for everyone who has pushed for it for a really long time and all who pointed me in the right directions.

I do not think I need that at this time but I desperately need need a htaccess that redirects all requests hitting boundanna.net and http://www.boundanna.net to http://www.boundanna.com while keeping the rest of the url intact. Sort of just rewriting .net to .com and keeping absolutely everything after it. None of the examples I have found has resulted in success. There is always a / missing after .com even when the author says it should be there. Get on it Slave_L! :whip:

Many other things has been done with this forum lately but unfortunately I can not quite seem to pull of that last 1% to make it work and make it publishable.

The following code will transfer any http to https regardless of the domain:

Code: Select all

Header set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000" env=HTTPS
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
You could basically replace {HTTP_HOST} here with www.boundanna.com. Your final .htaccess will look like this:

Code: Select all

Header set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000" env=HTTPS
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.boundanna.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Given that the above would also make the forum redirect to www.boundanna.com, you would want to have a second .htaccess inside the forum directory with the following:

Code: Select all

Header set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000" env=HTTPS
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule (.*) https://forum.boundanna.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Or .net if you still want to use the forum on the .net domain

So far, smooth as silk on my end! 8)

Great work, Anna! (or as the Brits would say, absolutely smashing! - with a hammer, no doubt :wink: :mrgreen: ).

How very true that is. Thanks.

Pony, please. Anyone with a 10th of my paranoia would think you mean it. :facepalm:

Attention all, we do not intercept any PM, we do not read them and we do not care what you write or who you are. I do technically have access to the database that among other things contain your PMs but I have no interest whatsoever in reading your private conversations. This is not Facebook and I have no intention of ruling the word. I have enough issues as it is. Storing personal details or secrets on someone else's computer or database is the latest trend but I strongly advice against it even if you trust the individual running the computer or database. Hackings do happen and databases and their contents might get stolen.

As always I recommend staying away from sharing any personally identifiable details in any form anywhere, including PM.

Is anyone else frequently getting logged out? Why do the [Bots] get to browse self bondage discussions for hours? I mean what do they want with that?

That is not good. Let me know if this continues.

Do not mind the bots. They can be kinky just like the rest of us. :mrgreen:

I think I got logged out just as I logged in a couple of days ago. I'm positive that I logged in (as positive as all the holes in my head allow :wink: ). I chalked it up to an absent-minded memory lapse.

They sure can be! Robot BDSM is as kinky as can be. Whipping with network cables, USB e-stim, the works. :whip:

You should see what they use for butt plugs... :shock:
