"Site Not Secure"

[uckelman]

It's September and we still don't have HTTP redirecting to HTTPS. It's a trivial thing to do. When can it be done?

It's 2025 and we're still waiting for HTTP redirecting to HTTPS, with no explanation for why this hasn't been done.

Please, please, please can the site owners address this simple issue so that the site works properly with modern browsers.

@RandyT0001 is the only person that has the power to implement the required changes.

Strangely, I am using an updated version of Chrome (on Windows and Mac), and I never had the issue you are mentioning.

Emails generated for GameSquad (and likely most bookmarks folks have) use https, but if you navigate in via:

http://www.gamesquad.com/forums/index.php

It will stay with http, and not redirect to https.

Definitely doesn't redirect, here's a call from the command line showing headers:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

As the server seems to be Apache, the change would likely amount to replacing in the config the existing virtual host section for port 80 with this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName www.gamesquad.com
  Redirect permanent / https://www.gamesquad.com/
</VirtualHost>

There is still no redirect from HTTP to HTTPS as I type this in June 2025. The problem was first pointed out in June 2020. Why are we still waiting for this to be fixed FIVE YEARS LATER?

It's entirely trivial to fix the problem. I have provided the solution in the post above this one. Someone with access to do it simply needs to paste that in to the apache config. It is exasperating to still be waiting for this. Is there no one managing the site at all?

I seem to have solved the problem by downloading the latest version of my browser - Google Chrome.
