SSL changes

We have made some changes, with the goal of increasing security, that expand our use of SSL encryption (https:// instead of http://).

SSL pages (registration, checkout, and so on) were previously hosted on ocnk pages rather than your private domain. SSL pages can now be used with private domains by enabling this setting in your Shop Manager at [Basic Settings]→[SSL private domain settings]. This change will be applied to all stores, regardless of settings, on March 14th.

All forum pages have been changed to SSL. We have disabled the display of the sidebar on forum pages, as non-SSL embedded images in the sidebar may not be displayed properly. The sidebar can be reenabled for the forum at [Design]→[SSL pages]. If enabling the sidebar, please ensure that all images it contains use URLs beginning in https://.

Lastly, the external cart can now be added to SSL-encrypted external pages. Existing external cart links are unaffected by this change, but new codes must be acquired in order to create new external cart links, on both SSL and non-SSL pages.
Maybe I'll go home in one hour and then I can make up the two hours I miss tomorrow, along with the three I missed last week.
