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