    Hey everybody,

    For those of you who are using the main website on HTTPS and had some issues earlier on, this should now be fixed. Today we've moved from Letsencrypt towards Comodo with wildcard SSL. It all seemed to work, until I noticed that the new SSL key did not work properly on and for Android devices due to a Certification Authority issue. That issue now has been addressed and fixed.

    A better SSL implementation was needed for our pending new forums, which will become SSL encrypted only. In august we'll likely make that move, perhaps sooner. We have a fully working development site with migrated forums up and active, running really nicely I must say.

    With the 'forums 2017 edition' we'll also move away from vBulletin and make a move to Xenforo. This was in my .plan for a long time already. However due to the fact that our forums are deeply merged and integrated into our main content management software (the content website), a lot of coding for compatibility had to be finished and tested.

    The new forums will retain all content and all your user info, so don't worry. The transition will/should hopefully be smooth. I've designed a really nice on the eyes skin while retaining that Guru3D.com feel. The new forum design is responsive and offers better security as well including optional to use 2-way authentication by smartphone for you guys.

    Thanks,

    - Hilbert

    Thanks for the update, noticed some slow loading stuff today that I guess goes with the server transfers.

    Do the skin choices the forum currently has transfer over?

    I would also love a dark version. I use the blue light filter on my OLED phone screen and have the color temperature on warm on my LCD monitor. It helps. So does lots of lutein and zeaxanthin.

    The fact that the current forums are light blue makes it much worse too. Hopefully the new ones will switch to a color that doesnt damage your eyes and disrupt the circadian rythm.

    Nice! Tbh I wouldn't change anything considering how G3D forum looks and feels atm, guess I'm just use to it for all these years looking at the back and it fits my needs just perfect, like a woman I'm married with for years, still lol

    But if Xenforo is that much secure like everyone are saying and new forum style won't loose much of that unique "Guru3D feeling" then I don't mind at all: go for it and good luck!

    The forums are going to be a multitude better in any way possible. I however do not react well towards users threatening me to leave if they do not get what they want. A little more subtlety and kindness will get you a long way spajdrik. We're in the middle of a massive operation here, you haven't even seen the new forum design yet are already complaining.

    Can't wait to see the new forum design boss. Based on what you have said about the new forums that its alot better than what is currently being used.
