Nice with the SSL! ^^ Just a tip: it seems like SSL is enforced on theveganatheist.com, but not on theveganatheist.com/forum
If you can you should also force it on the forum. At the moment you only get SSL on the forum by either going through theveganatheist.com or typing in htps:// manually

ya I realized that, and I posted on the phpbb forum and it seems to be a more difficult issue. If someone understands this stuff, and willing to help, please take a look at this thread and help me through it.

Yeah, that's not a phpBB thing, it's a redirect thing with the host. You can fix that from your cpanel, when you log into it to manage your hosting account. It's relatively easy.

This might help: http://www.webhostinghub.com/help/learn ... to-use-ssl

I fixed it from within the forums with a word censor (since it was causing logouts whenever the user followed a link), but a redirect is the proper way.

If you can't find it, contact the web host for support.

I contacted my host and it seems they were able to fix it. HTTPS:// should now be forced always.

I was asked "Muhammad supposedly flew on a ______ to heaven". Being partly ignorant when it comes to such technological logistics, I thought the answer would be reviewed by an administrator. So my answer was "winged horse" as Dawkins called it on the Al Jazeera interview with Mehdi Hassan. Between brackets I also added "Buraq" as it is called (in Arabic) in the Islamic mythology, since I am an Ex-Muslim. Anyway.

Are you looking for other suggestions?

It's automatic, not reviewed.

Both of those answers would have been acceptable. There's a list of something like 50 acceptable answers. Pegasus and Unicorn would have also worked. But I'm not sure if they would have been accepted if you put them together or added brackets. Did that work?

I see.

No, it didn't, but you're excused. My ignorance was to blame.

It also accepts several different transliterations, and you could even have input the answer in Arabic. I like to think I write security question answer lists like a boss.

Congrats on getting SSL I feel safer! Now I wonder did you take away the security questions and replace them with a captcha code email verification?

Tofu is to soybeans as Seitan is to _____

This was the question with which I was tested upon registering a new account. I did not know what Seitan is so I did a quick google search and 1 minute later wrote "wheat" as the answer. That does mean that a spammer capable of understanding English could easily do the same.

Name a famous Atheist 'horseman'

The google search of "atheist horsemen" (without "") leads one to the immediate explanation and the 4 answers. (I wasn't familiar with the term before)

(I starred them so that some spammer can't simply find the answer in the forum)
