Question on SSL and security and secure site
#1
Had member join and he felt the site made him uncomfortable.  I see I can make a purchase for SSl ,etc.   Does this protect all from what specifically?  Is it a good deal to get this?  Should the members worry?  What possibly could happen?  I closed the site down to just those who join months ago.  Thanks.

SSL gives the lock icon in the browser and encrypts the data sent to and from the site. It is mainly meant to make sure data is not viewed/edited in transit from third parties. It can help if people are people watched or spyed upon. Mainly hackers can use it to take credit card information from order forms etc.

If I just buy the subscription for secure SSL for 1-2 years this is put in place for my site by MyBB?

Yes that will give you the lock icon for your domain here for the duration that you order.

I made my purchase to secure the website with padlock.  When will this change and show up on the site?

Good man.  Thanks as always and I'm very happy with the tech support here.  My membership is really growing big now that e 24/7 website shut down some of their forums.  I'll be in touch about maybe adding ads here in next few months.  Appreciate the help.
