I just noticed that although the forum's web server supports HTTPS, the links in notification emails are plain HTTP and if you manually change to HTTPS, navigating around the forum downgrades you back to HTTP.

Since logging in requires entering username/email and a password, it would be good practice to use HTTPS throughout by default, and maybe automatically upgrading to HTTPS if someone lands here via HTTP.

What about some stickies at the top of each each forum, with an introduction to the most basic information to help people such as myself get an idea of what it is all about? For example I have found the burner thread on common types,...
