Please support the Forum by using the Amazon Link this Holiday Season

Amazon has started their Black Friday sales and there are some great deals to be had! As you shop this holiday season, please consider using the forum's Amazon.com link (listed in the menu as "Amazon Link") to add items to your cart and purchase them. The forum gets a small commission from every item sold.

Additionally, the forum gets a "bounty" for various offers at Amazon.com. For instance, if you sign up for a 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime, the forum will earn $3. Same if you buy a Prime membership for someone else as a gift! Trying out or purchasing an Audible membership will earn the forum a few bucks. And creating an Amazon Business account will send a $15 commission our way.

If you have an Amazon Echo, you need a free trial of Amazon Music!! We will earn $3 and it's free to you!

Your personal information is completely private, I only get a list of items that were ordered/shipped via the link, no names or locations or anything. This does not cost you anything extra and it helps offset the operating costs of this forum, which include our hosting fees and the yearly registration and licensing fees.

Stay safe and well and thank you for your participation in the Forum and for your support!! --Deborah

        Deb,

        I've noticed for at least over a week that the URL line for this forum now has a notice indicator...

        Clicked on the "i" for info button and it says this:

        SmartSelectImage_2019-09-15-05-47-37.png

        Should I be concerned for my personal info? Does that help you any in understand the slow/crashing forum situation?

          It's not new. It just depends on your browser whether you get some sort of notification about that. We aren't on a HTTPS connection. I think Chrome will notify you about that other browsers might not. I noticed it for several months but it is something that I should see about resolving. I know it has nothing to do with slowness. I did do a few tweaks this week we'll see how things work out.

            I always have trouble using the forum on my android phone.
            I think it relates to time when you said there was a change in server
            I can click on a thread and instead the person's profile who started thread shows up.
            Or the thread previous or after the one I clicked on shows up

            I believe its caused by the slowness of the forum to connect to my phone.

                Maybe your connection or your phone sucks. I browse on a Galaxy S9 and have no issues.

                  That could be a touchscreen calibration or fat finger issue.

                    Yes, if you are clicking a thread and someone's profile comes up, you are clicking on the wrong spot. Perhaps your phone needs some calibration or you need to zoom in a little bit to get to the right spot to click or tap.

                      I'm not a tech person so I dont know what you mean by calibration relating to phone
                      My blackberry phone had no issues
                      And no I don't have fat fingers and I have tried zooming in and every other little trick to help it

                              haha, I don't think you're stupid. If the calibration or screen is off by a few pixels, it's easy to tap in one place but activate another. On my phone, I have to zoom in just a little in order to tap the right spot.

                              Gonz, I think I have to buy an SSL certificate in order to get rid of the informational notice you see. That's more money at a time we are already not covering our costs, so it will remain a low priority.

                              It's been that way a long time. There's no risk to your data, but you shouldn't share your credit card info on a site that doesn't have SSL.

                                Still very unhappy with performance during "busy" times here. :( Sorry, gang. I may transition us to a new host in the coming week.
