Links to AccurateShooter.com content

[Forum Boss]

Folks,
Today we took the first step towards running the secure protocol for the AccurateShooter.com domain.

When you go to our home page, we recommend you set the URL to be: https://www.accurateshooter.com

NOTE the httpS

We are still working on getting all the existing links to forward so that bookmarks for the cartridge guides, tech articles, match reports, and guns of the week will work.

Please be patient. Because we have multiple sub-domains, this is somewhat complicated. I'm hoping that the older links will auto-forward soon. For example, if you type http://www.brownells.com it will launch the secure site https://www.brownells.com . That is what we are trying to achieve.

In the meantime, if you want to access a Cartridge Guide or other content item, go first to https://www.accurateshooter.com and then click a link within that site.

Also, there will be a temporary delay in display of the advertisements. The ad content also has to be delivered from a secure domain covered by our SSL certificate.

Bottom line -- everything is OK. This is a transition process. Just follow the work-arounds and you'll be able to access all our content.

It will be awhile before we can put the https in place for the Forum. We are moving in stages. The main site has roughly 600 articles, the Daily Bulletin has around 10,000. The Forum has hundreds of thousands of files.

So we will do Main Site, then Bulletin, then finally Forum. We have to move step by step.

Despite what people think, this is NOT just about buying and registering a certificate. Every single file now has to be delivered through a secure server, or there will be dead links, images that don't appear, pages that don't display right.

Well, you guys will have to be patient. We are learning that hundreds of our legacy articles have images from our original 6mmbr.com site. Every one of those images has to be re-uploaded to a new server and retagged. I am now investigating how we might do that in bulk. I just spent an hour on the Free Targets page. One HOUR for one page.

We will see if we can move all the 6mmBR.com images, in bulk, to a secure server. But then the src tags still have to be modified one by one in each article.
