Since there seems to be some interest, I'll see about bringing it online. Hopefully be up in skeletal form in a few hours, with full images to follow.
It was a good site, you should
I'm working on reissuing the SSL certificate for the site. Thanks to @eastonch for sponsoring the box the site will be on.
Last time I looked at StartSSL, it required you to import their certificate into your browser. Fine for me, but useless for serving the internet as a whole. 99.9% of people are not going to do that, or even know how.
.
Exactly.
wut?

Woops. Nulling that post I just made. :P
Just waiting on the approver e-mail to come in. It wouldn't have taken so long but I made a mistake with the approver e-mail address. Shouldn't be long now. I have the files on the server, as soon as I get the certificate I should be good to go.
Edit: If you don't mind a self-signed certificate, you can access the site now. Just wanted to get it up now so I could work on the images while Comodo takes its slow time.
Someone should check more often I guess lol
Check what more often?
he probably means the site lol
Ironic that the sites ssl cert isn't verified.
@MrObvious thanks! fitting name for the purpose you just served.
Still doesn't matter, they are cheap but he had to self sign it :P
Weird, usually the approver e-mail has come through by now. Oh well, I've got plenty to do, still getting images together.
OK, seriously, where is that e-mail? I should have gotten it ages ago.
@raindog308 StartSSL require that you import the client certificate they issue you, rather than relying on username/passwords for login.
@DStrout would mentioning the Firefox Certificate Patrol extension and similar be too much for your target audience?
@graemep Yeah, probably a bit out of scope. In other news:
...Kinda weird. I personally think they got suspicious when they saw the domain name.
@raindog308 the client certificate you import is to authenticate yourself to their site - it offers security over and above a simple username/password, another good reason to use startssl. To be clear, only the cert issuer needs it.
The last time I had a browser reject a startssl cert I was using a circa 2001 Symbian phone...
Yep, what @tehdan said. People visiting your site don't need to manually import the cert, that's just for you to use to log in and manage it. Also, definitely back that up in a few places .
CheapHTTPS.info on stock Android :
@bnmkl nice gravatars you have there ;-)
Haha @rds100.
There is something else ... But you were too horny to see.
Finally got the approver e-mail in! Approved and now have the certificate.
The certificate is now up! I have most of the images, too, but I need to be on Windows to make the rest, which I will be in a little while.
@DStrout – working nicely (:
Chrome on stock Android 4.2.2
Also @bnmkl, that ain't stock.. I can tell that Samsung has gone ahead and uglified everything there
He's probably missing the intermediate root cert.
Most modern browsers won't care, most.
Haha. Very true @Andre.
I usually cry into my pillow most nights, most.
@bnmkl - from the cronology of this thread its clear you hit the site while it was still using a self-signed cert.
@Wintereise - isn't it just that an increasing number of browsers have the intermediate cert themselves?
@DStrout - how about an honourable mention for StartSSL on your site?
Site is fully up with certificate and images. I do intent to review this thread and make some changes to some of the content. Keep an eye on the site! Also, since I have a nice new server from @eastonch specifically for this sort of thing, feel free to suggest any type of tutorial/help Grandma understand tech/whatever type of site.
