The forum has moved, and you are here!

Glad to be here.

I was getting worried.

 

I cautiously think that my DNS was updated with no help from me, and I am using the new server for good now. Thanks for responding to my inquiries.

 

I don't know if that is good idea. A lot of members are using some kind of ad-blockers which will probably lower expected income.

Wilder's loading faster after the switch over.

 

Congratulations on the move, and thank you for your efforts to keep the forum humming along.

If you are taking this opportunity to make improvements, it would be nice if there were an option to hide one's online/logged-in status.

I've sometimes wondered how forum expenses are paid for. I never bothered to ask though. Perhaps now is a good time. How have things worked in the past? Can you share your thinking regarding the future?

 

This fact does not seem to get the applause that it deserves.
I have often wanted to at least donate, but you guys won't accept them.
All I can say is a great big, ongoing Thank You.

 

I'm not having any joy getting Firefox to accept the new certificate. Adding an exception, the "permanent" option is greyed out. Even after deleting the old Wilders certificate, the "permanent" option is greyed out in adding an exception. I've tried exporting a temporary certificate that's working, restarting Firefox, and importing the certificate. It shows as permanent, but Firefox still prompts that the certificate is untrusted.

How do I mark it trusted?

I'm using Firefox 27.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.042 x64.

 

Thanks.

I deleted cert8.db and after starting Firefox, the "Permanently store this exception" option for "Confirm Security Exception" was still greyed out

 

I've been having the same problem lately in many VMs, with Firefox and Iceweasel, getting them to accept permanent exceptions for the self-signed certificates that pfSense uses for its WebGUI. So it's not just this Firefox instance, with Wilders, that's messed up.

I suspect a Firefox bug, or maybe a new security feature.

I wonder if there's a switch in about:config.

 

I wonder if trying Cyberfox would fix it.

 

That's overkill, I think

It's not that I don't want warnings about invalid certificates. It's just that I want to create permanent exceptions. Firefox used to do that. Now, at least for me, it's not. Only temporary seems possible.

 

OK, I know why now. It was "Always use private browsing mode."

After unchecking that, and waiting for Firefox to restart, I can permanently save exceptions.

And they remain after rechecking "Always use private browsing mode."

 

I suspected that might be the case. Some moments of fun are essential during intense periods of work. I liked the New item way of keeping users informed.

Oh, well extra kudos then.

Who are those forum owners we should thank? Or would a general thank you be preferred?

 

I've been enjoying this forum for 9 years. It starts and ends my day. The things I've learned and the inside tips I've received are limitless. I think that donations are really in order.

 

For whatever reason, LWM won't hear of it, though perhaps his mind has changed.
I have asked him that very question more than once, and he has always turned them down.
Perhaps we could set it up wherein members who wished to donate could mail their checks to me!

 

Should they make their checks out to cash?

I would donate if Wilders accepted Bitcoins

Accepting Bitcoin donations would be easy. All it takes is a Bitcoin wallet. Converting to fiat currency would require an exchange account, however. But there are already many ways to spend Bitcoins for goods and services.

 

So just two guys have been carrying the hosting expenses all these years? I don't know how much hosting has actually cost for this site, whether the owners have a way to deduct the related expenses, etc. However, my guess is that would equate to non-trivial amounts out of pocket. What a nice gift to the world, thank you.

Given the various crowd funding sites that have cropped up over the years, you'd think there might be at least one that supports various forms of contributions including "anonymous" donations. I wonder how complex the income/tax/reporting implications are for donation recipients, though.

 

Checks made out to an individual and sent to a P.O. Box could beat the tax problem.
