SSV - Secure Connection

[Travis]

Howdy All.  I just wanted to let you know that I've updated the website to include an SSL certificate.  Basically it turns SSV from a standard website to a secure website.  Google changed their policy late last year, flagging websites that had HTTP as being potentially insecure.  SSV was just fine because we don't host any sensitive information or do any credit card processing (that is done with a 3rd party...ie, PayPal and Stripe).  But that silly little warning caused undue panic.  At any rate, that has been solved and updated.  You probably won't see any changes, other than the website now says https:// instead of http://.  Everything should forward to the proper address and you shouldn't have to do anything special.

Because we had to update the SSL, we had to update Facebook login and Twitter login.  So if you use Facebook to login, you might have to log in again with Facebook and grant permissions to SSV to use Facebook to log into SSV.  If you have FaceBook connected so that it updates your avatar and banner, you might have to reconnect.  You can do that in your settings (https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/settings/login/?service=4)

If you use Twitter, you shouldn't have to do anything.

Let me know if you have any troubles with anything on the site or SSV isn't behaving the same way it used to.  Also, let me know if you have trouble with any of the payment processors (PayPal or Stripe).  Those had to be updated too, but that should be seamless.

 

Thanks All!
