Please add HTTPS to forum.linqpad.net since passwords are sent in the clear

I would have complained even without the major browsers finally starting to notify everyone that sending passwords over the network unencrypted is a bad idea:



Thankfully I never reuse passwords. The same can't be said for most people.

Please take care of this. There are free options. If you aren't familiar with the process, this is a good resource: https://www.troyhunt.com/the-6-step-happy-path-to-https/

I see your point. Unfortunately, the forum is hosted, so SSL is not free. It requires a plan upgrade, at a cost of $599 per month.

Ouch!

Ouch!

If they aren't willing to be competitive with the market, do you have an exit strategy?

Yes, there are alternatives. One option is to use GitHub's issue tracking system. The catch is that there's no migration path, so it would mean a reset with users and discussions.

GitHub would be quite a popular choice with me, but you'd understandably not look forward to resetting. Maybe ask the forum users here for alternatives?
