When I sign up for an account my browser warns me that the user name and password are not a secure connection.  I use a different password for every site I log into.  But still....

That's what I was asking about.  Everything on this site (including your username and password) get transmitted over the internet in plain text.  There is a valid SSL certificate, and you can force the encryption (https://forum.azsolo.com) but every link you click will load up a non-encrypted page (http).

Yeah, not a good thing.  Everybody should definitely use a unique password for this forum (even if it gets fixed)....😀

Been absent from the forum(and autocross) for a couple years, but finally have a job that doesn't work weekends again. 

The new forum actually seems like a great improvement (unlike when most tech gets updated these days). I'll try to be active and take lots of photos at events this year.

Oddity.  I opened the forum but was not logged in; page events are off by one day (SSCC event is 11 Oct, the site paints 11 and then re-paints to 10).  I thought it was Scott, he said nope, it is me 😄.  My phone showed 10 Oct as well. 

 When I login, it repaints to 11 Oct.  If I am not logged in but go to the calendar (which shows 11 Oct) and come back, it repainted it back to 11 Oct.  The date remains correct if I never log out.  If I logout, close FireFox, open again and go back to the forum, it shows it at 11 then repaints 10 Oct.

Like I said, odd.  FYI:  windows 10 system(s) and new Apple phone

 

Ain't my dog tho, I have enuf "features" that I am chasing here in SV

This smells like a timezone issue.

Lots of calendars put all day events starting at 12am. But...that's 12am in which timezone? e.g. 12am on 11 October in EDT is 9pm on 10 October in AZ.

Geolocation by IP is also an imperfect science, especially if you're running a proxy or VPN. Your forum account is probably tagged to a specific timezone, which overrides any autodetection.
