Things seem to be working. I am still seeing some quirks relating to the SSL (https) as it goes back and forth between secure and not secure, but maybe that will work itself out. Perhaps it's a cache thing. I don't know.
I still don't have my server login information, but he said he set it up. So once I get that, I can see what else I might have to do. I'll upgrade the forum software once I'm assured that things are working again. At the moment, I am getting some SSL fluctuations (secure, not secure) and I think it went down once for a moment after I logged back in. That could also be a cache problem. I just want to make sure we're stable before upgrading the software.
First off, Congratulations!!! And Thank You. Regarding the SSL issues: What kind of issues? Is it anything we would notice?
Here's what's happening, I think. When I click into another page of the forum, sometimes, it switches from https to http and logs me out. It's only done that a few times so far. I think that's a cache problem. It should work itself out before long. Meanwhile, I'll clear my browser cache. I don't ordinarily clear my browser cache so I have to figure out how to do that. It used to be easy.
I have Firefox set to clear my cache (with some exceptions) every time I close the browser, and I close it before I go to bed every night. SOC is one of the exceptions, so I guess I should manually clear it. Or maybe the exceptions are only for cookies...
