Xan-hancements

Awesome, thank you Xan!

Tenn, that image makes me sad that Wicked Lasers are illegal in the U.S. now.

Many thanks!

Also, I just noticed the https:// in the address bar. I don't remember the old site using SSL. Was that another recent Xan-hancement? If so, bravo!

Thanks everyone! And yes, https is a recent improvement. The padlock sometimes gets compromised if you're on a page where somebody has hotlinked an http image. (There might be a way to fix that in many cases.) But the login page is definitely secure, which prevents modern browsers from freaking out.

Thanks for pointing this out. Great work, Xan!

The forum is now dual-stack, that is, running both on IPv4 and IPv6.

Awesome. Thank you.

Yes, Xan, thank you. Seems all is running smoothly.

The forum has just been upgraded from phpBB 3.1 to phpBB 3.2. I don't think there should be any changes that will throw anyone for a loop, but a few things might look a little different.

Also (as mentioned in another thread) emails from the forum to Gmail should now be getting through.

Side question: is Xan pronounced shaen? All this time, I thought it was ‘Christian’.
Oh wait, it’s X-an, like Texan?

Both of those fit, but believe it or not, I hadn't thought of either! It's pronounced "Zan", as in the middle part of "Alexander".
