Any plans to enable https? I keep hoping. My ISP intercepts http requests and it's a pain, but https works fine. i tried using HTTPS Everywhere with "Block all unencrypted requests" turned on, and it works great on a lot of sites. But sadly, it fails on Novelupdates. On novelupdates the CSS and javascript don't load properly. I'm not sure about a fix, but I see some of you URLs use double forward slash to load resources and don't put http or https at all. Like Code: <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//ajax.googleapis.com' /> Unfortunately, it looks like some of your javascript has hardcoded http inside of it. e.g. Code: http://www.novelupdates.com/wp-content/themes/ndupdates-child/js/readinglist.js?ver=1.0.6 has Code: var r="http://www.novelupdates.com/readinglist_update.php?rid= and Code: http://www.novelupdates.com/wp-content/themes/ndupdates-child/js/cookieconsent.min.js?ver=1.0.1 has Code: href="http://silktide.com/cookieconsent"
I searched but searching for ssl and https gave me an error. Feel free to link relevant topics. I am happy to add my voice to an existing topic rather than creating a new one.

Thanks. It didn't work when I tried it yesterday but it popped up an error. I needed 10 posts in the forum to post links, so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it. I tried again just now and it worked fine (even when logged out). I don't know how to close the thread and add my vote to the others, so I guess I'll just stop commenting now.
Nice spam lol HTTPS shouldn't be too hard, it's more about changing all the pre-existing information that already is relative. Besides there are no payment transactions or personal information running through NU. I mean, obviously it's great and all but is it an absolute necessity?
It's especially an issue for the login page. If you're on a public WiFi, your password could be compromised.
You are right, we need at least 100 posts! I mean its so simple to implement, even a caveman can do it... Well, there are many ignorant people that use the same password for everything. So if someone does intercept that, it could be used to access more than nuffies. But other issue can be for those accessing at work and some keyword springs up the red flags.
If it was that simple, I have a strange impression http would not exist anymore. Why would anyone create something with http if https was better at every aspect and was super easily available?
Well, before HTTPS required you to pay for a certificate. These days you can get one for free with no issue. Actually, NU already has HTTPS. https://www.novelupdates.com/ It is provided by cloudflare for free. The issue is the resources are hard coded to http for some weird reason.
Is it... could it be...?! http://novelupdates.com/ redirects to https://novelupdates.com/ Looking at the links from my first post, most of them are now https! Code: <script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.novelupdates.com/wp-content/themes/ndupdates-child/js/readinglist.js?ver=1.0.7'></script> Code: var r="//www.novelupdates.com/readinglist_update.php Code: <script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.novelupdates.com/wp-content/themes/ndupdates-child/js/cookieconsent.min.js?ver=1.0.1'></script> Code: href="http://silktide.com/cookieconsent">Cookie Consent plugin Looks like there are still some http links, but not for the javascript (at least in my quick sampling). Nice!
I tested just a quick bit with the HTTPS Everywhere addon in "Block all unencrypted requests" mode and the site doesn't break anymore. I am able to load reading lists, mark all chapters as read for a novel, move novel between reading lists, sort reading lists by column. Thanks!
