    I can try the Fire, and two other Android versions on a couple of other tablets around here if you like.

    I want to clarify something..

    All web browsers will be able to access the site, regardless of what you're running. You just may get some unexpected warnings that you need to tell to go away/ignore..

    Warnings? Huh. And here I was expecting them to burst into flame.

    If the browser in question is IE, that might not be a bad thing. Internet Explorer: What you use to download Firefox or Chrome.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    In May 2012, Internet Explorer only represented 15.7% of our traffic. I'm not that worried, but I want to give everyone a heads up and know what to expect.

    I like it. Will this come with a hearty a$$ fisting from the TSA? What? Too soon?
    Seriously, great idea on paper as well as in practice. I see no problem.

    For starters, https://forums.hamisland.net is now available, but it'll just redirect you mostly back to http:// because vBulletin sucks my ass.

    Maybe the solution is right in front of us, as you are doing now... leave a small, one liner banner that reads: If you are experiencing problems browsing the form, please click here...
    ... to a link, closed for discussion, that can go further in detail, such as "If you are using an older or unstable browsers, or Microsoft Internet Explorer, you may want to upgrade to one of these fine choices...
    List the fully compatible browsers with links to their download page.

    You can also keep a list of browsers that have known difficulties, and continue to explain what SSL is.

    -- just an idea..
