> Query re PSB: Does archiving of present boards proceed automatically when a predetermined file size or byte limit is reached, or do you do this manually?
It's the former. The key to doing this is to proceed automatically as often as possible. :-)
> Query re password: Have you been successful in securing a secure server? I ask because I have not had to supply a password in order to post before. Since I use the same password for *many* purposes (thanks to the effects of ADs), I would hate to have it floating around cyberspace readily available.
You *should* have had to supply a password for a while now! Maybe it was being done automatically (see above) with a "cookie"?
I've been wanting to encrypt those cookies for a while now. I've been busy sidetracked lately, but I'll try to get to it soon...
In the meantime, the server has in fact been secured -- and with this new system, you should be able to read (and therefore post) with "https" as well as "http", and therefore have your password "float" in encrypted form, at least. :-)
