Just wanted to let you guys know that I upgraded the site to use SSL. For those unfamiliar, it means the site traffic is now encrypted and you will no longer see the insecure site warnings. It's not like we're dealing with sensitive information here, but it's best practice these days and about time I got with the program.

Anyway, my reason for this post was to let you guys know so you can report back if you're having site issues at all.

Yeah, as seems to always happen with any tweaks I do, the site went offline for a couple of minutes while I had to update some software.

Thank you, Freak! You are a hero to us all.

Now if you can just delete the politics forums and ban Gator fans, all will be perfect here. (I kid of course)

Does anyone keep getting logged off on mobile? When I press the back button it logs me back in.

Try refreshing or clearing your cache and temp files. You likely have a non-secure page cached. Let me know if that works.

His issue just happened to me for the first time ever. I’ll try clearing history.

If it happens again, click on the VolNation logo at the top and see if it then reloads and shows you as logged in.

For anyone else appearing to be logged out, just refresh the page or click the volnation logo at the top. This definitely seems to be a simple issue of old cached files and refreshing the page should reveal that you haven't actually been logged out.

Just did it to me again. I clicked on the VolNation logo and voila! I’m back!

The issue with showing not logged on seems to be recurring. I’ve tweaked a couple things to see if that fixes is.

Thanks Freak. Were these warnings in reference to the types of posters you may find here? :D
