I have today installed Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to cover the whole site. You will see that there is a “lock” icon (usually coloured green) to the left of the URL in your browser address bar, and the URLs are all https:// rather than just http://. This system encrypts all traffic from and to the site, especially Usernames and Passwords. Credit/Debit Card information always was secure.

It has meant that I have removed the Login and Short Profile information that used to appear on the right-hand side of most pages.

• To login, choose YOUR ACCOUNT>LOGIN
• To see your account status and/or profile, choose YOUR ACCOUNT>PROFILE

Another reason for using SSL is because search engines, such as Google, will soon stop indexing sites that don’t have it installed.
