Site moving to HTTPS

That in addition to my $9.99 per month fees (collected on an annual basis). I've been with them since 2002. Now I'm looking around for options.

That plus they changed ownership at around 2009 and then they failed to transfer my old records with the previous owner (Hostsave.com) and just list me as being with them since 2009. That kind of tweaks my attitude a bit.

for some 10 days or more Tapatalk is not working. It is not about the password, it seems there is no connection possible. Always states Networkfailure.

Might depend on the move to HTTPS, doesn't it?

Does anybody face the same issue?

Cheers

for me it always beug

Tried to log in for the first time in a while (been designing a CNC router to make speaker cabinets :-) ), and was appalled to be told that "IE and Chrome on WindowsXP are now unsupported." Appalled because I never (and likely will never) use either of them, and because it also blocks me using Opera which not only supports SSLv3 but is just well, cool. I'm kind of stuck on XP as I have a number of old apps (some custom written) that will only really work on XP that earn me a fair bit of my money and unless someone comes along who will recreate them for free I'm not up for changing. So can someone please sort it so that I'm able to access this site using Opera?? There's no reason why not. Otherwise I just won't bother, I find Firefox more of a dog tahn a fox I'm afraid.

I just put Opera on my machine to check. No problem with diyAudio site here. Are you saying you need a workaround to make newer versions work on your XP?
Did a search and this thread here links Opera36 download as latest version that will work.

If not the case can you clarify?

Haven't tried Opera for a while. Nice Browser!

The last XP version of Opera appears to be from 2016, version 36.0.2130.80, available here:

Index of /pub/opera-winxpvista/36.0.2130.80/win/

It does not support SSLv3, which is a dead protocol, and does support TLS1.0, 1.1 and 1.2.

So far no problems faced yet.
Running the site with Firefox 64.0.2 on PCLinuxOS (abandoned Windows a long time ago in favour of Linux).

Get a modernOS and run XP in VirtualBox - problem gone.

Same story here. No problems at all. In fact, I didn't even notice that the long-awaited https had finally arrived!

Thanks to Jason for making the switch to secure protocols happen! (Well, if not secure, at least less insecure, given the history of "security" on the Internet.)

I too have been Linux-only in my personal life for 18 years now. And at work too, for the last two years. Mandrake Linux 8.0 in 2001 was the turning point for me, the first Linux distribution I could actually use to get things done, and not just to tinker with Linux.

Https is essential today so I'm glad for the security of the web
