Ben Gitty here. I wanted to let you know that the Nation website is upgrading to secure SSL (https) today, which is a necessary step to keep things working going forward. Some of you had noticed security warnings in the past - this should take care of all of that.
There may be a period of the site not being fully accessible today (and possibly into tomorrow) as the SSL certificate is installed. I apologize for the downtime, but hopefully this will make for smooth sailing ahead.

Thank you for being a member of Cigar Box Nation!

Thanks, Shane... somehow, though, the Right ssl certificate needs to be applied...
Kinda add that a different cert was applied...
Hi, I was wondering if it was safe to be here, I keep getting "unsafe" messages I haven't visited for days due to this message.
is it safe!? I've been waiting for an email to say that the upgrades were complete.

I'm not sure this addiction/lifestyle is 'safe'. Compelling, intriguing, crazy, offbeat, fun, ...yes. But not 'safe'. The web site kinda follows.
