Folks, This year (the 25th year that Army.ca has been online), we are set to hit 1.5 million posts before calendar year-end. We are also likely to break 50,000 days of accumulated time spent online for all registered users (this does not include time guests spend browsing the site). We are...

Show unread posts has an implied "since your last visit" tacked on the end, whereas show unread replies will show topics you have posted in with new replies no matter how old. You can show all unread posts if you really want to be overwhelmed. :) (I have 95 pages of unread topics!)

Fixed, subscribers no longer see ads. Sorry for the confusion!

I'll double check the code. Subscribers should not be seeing ads, but it seems like some/all still are.  ???

I have made some changes to the ad code, it may result in some new stuff, we will give it a shot and see if the lemon is worth the squeeze.

They never left, but it's possible your ad blocker isn't working. :)

Not very pretty, but we have a large database of terms here as well: https://army.ca/words/

The lower Edit button triggers inline editing... some browsers may not like it. Personally I don't like or use that method, it's always seemed a bit flaky. Works OK for me, you may have to clear your Army.ca related cookies and try again.

Folks, A significant server upgrade was completed this morning, as always please let me know if there are any residual issues. Cheers Mike

Updated.  :orly:

Yeah, I have to admit, despite it all I had a little laugh myself.

I don't believe in coincidences, but I don't believe in fate either, so I guess I'll chalk this up to good old fashioned bad luck. Our hosting service had "an unrecoverable issue with the underlying hardware" today, and flushed our server without prior notice. Luckily, I run multiple backup...

Folks, for the first time in a long time, good news. According to our monitoring tools, Army.ca had 100% uptime in December. That means that for the entire month of December, the server was never unavailable.* For the keeners in the group, our monitoring report from 30 Nov to now is attached...

Seems to fit in this category as a minimum.

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish our visitors a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I hope this time finds you with loved ones and some time to unwind and relax. It has been an eventful year at Army.ca, with some significant server upgrades, important security improvements, and of...

I completely understand that even $30 is not doable for all, and there is no pressure. My view is that users should be the last to pay for the service. I would much rather have advertisers support the site where possible. Gear retailers, kit shops, etc. typically get very good value advertising...

Bingo. Our SSL (security) certificate is issued to Army.ca, not forums.army.ca. In this case the warning legitimately indicates that the certificate does not match the site you are visiting.

Fixed. :)

Thanks, I upgraded the database today and this is related. I expect to have it fixed tomorrow. Cheers Mike

The exact wording or a screenshot of the warning and URL you were visiting when it appeared would help a great deal. Might be useful also to know if the warnings always occur from E.G. inside DND or another org, in case they are trying to proxy HTTPS and inserting a problem. I'm pretty sensitive...
