Unless I'm mistaken, our messageboard hiatus has come to a successful conclusion. Thank you for your patience.

I don't know if you know, but according to my browser (Chrome)

WoodCentral.com is "Not secure"

Security

Ellis Walentine

Without getting too deep into this, the main purpose of site security is to encrypt sensitive information that is exchanged between server and browser. We don't ask for or receive or transmit any of this type of information. As I've seen it, perhaps naively, the biggest downside for us is that search engines deprecate sites that don't display HTTPS, or some level of SSL security. It's an issue that I should look into again, but it had nothing to do with our recent posting issues.

Can you possibly share what was the cause of the difficulty? Something that the rest of us who have personal sites might be interested in?

I could, but...

... it's pretty technical and it wouldn't have any relevance to your site, except in a general sense. I'll send you more detail by email.

Nice! Sorry you had to work 'till 1:35 a.m, though.

Priority issue

I am out west, and the server clock is set to Eastern time, so I'm three hours behind. Not that I don't burn the midnight oil if necessary. :)
