Seems a bit weird. Is that a forum thing or local to you, do you think?

Might be something to do with the lack of https. I'm unable to visit a different forum from my work machine which doesn't have this feature; I presume I can only use this place because it's either set up better, or it's locally hosted.

c4countdown.co.uk still uses unencrypted HTTP rather than HTTPS. I suspect this has always been the case and we've only just noticed.

I think C4C ought to have HTTPS and an SSL certificate like Apterous and most other websites do nowadays. AFAIK Charlie controls the domain so only he can set that up.

yeah don't use the same password for c4c as your bank...

I've opened an Apterous ticket. It seems strange to raise tickets on Apterous for things related to C4C, but precedent exists.

Fortunately I use a nonce password for this website but I would definitely be careful if you use the same password and email for other websites.

Nonce passwords are kept more secure, for obvious reasons. Mine is J1mmy5av1l3.

I was reading a random article about Bitcoin and it mentioned nonce and that it meant single-use, so there you go. It's not something you readily Google. (I could have looked it up in a print dictionary obviously.)

Better to have a nonce password than a nonce username imo
