HTTPS redirect on forum.swissmicros.com
Would it be possible to configure http://forum.swissmicros.com so that it redirects to https://forum.swissmicros.com before you login rather than after? The way it works now, if you mistakenly use the non-secure URL to access the site, it will allow you to login insecurely, and then it redirects you, forcing you to login again. A minor issue, I guess, but annoying.

What is the metric tensor in imperial units?

Why don't you simply bookmark the https:// version ?
I agree it should ultimately be fixed, but in the interim, no need to run any risks...

Obviously I don't run that risk on purpose. Even if I didn't care about security, having to login twice is simply annoying, and using a bookmark is no more of a fix than swerving around a pothole fixes the pavement.

Good point. I've passed the message on.
