I've been a little neglectful of making updates...we've been busy trying to make our site better after our host migrated us to new servers.
First, we now have full SSL on our website. I still need to convert some image references to https, but all of the PHP is secured. If you see a "not fully secured" it's because I need to change how the images on that page are referenced. And of course, our ecommerce through ME has always been secure.
Second, the forum has been updated to use secured cookies. This has seemed to solve most of the issues with logins. However, there are a few people (so far outside of the United States) who are having SSL cipher issues. If you are encountering such a problem, please contact me here or on email so I can try and figure out why.
This one confuses me because our provider is actually in Germany. If you have any suggestions, please let us know. I'm not a web developer by trade so I'm open to more expert advice.
Third, we are nearing the end of phase 2 of the Solar Starfire upgrade. We are working on the parts for the final phase, which will then be followed by a review phase... and then release!
Last, we have a huge number of datagroups that need to get added to our Shapeways store! Otterman has completely overwhelmed us with new datagroups! He's too awesome. Look forward to seeing those soon.
By that time we'll have some more news. This is shaping up to be a fun year!
