MetaTalk

Does Metafilter have someplace that we can go to check on the health of MeFi itself, or get repair updates, that's NOT hosted at Metafilter itself? Other websites will often have an Twitter account for that. I realize that MeFi has left Twitter, but is there someplace else we can go to check, when MeFi itself goes down? [more inside]

A week from now, we'll be updating MetaFilter to always serve https pages instead of http! You most likely don't need to care at all that this is happening, but I'll explain what it means below. Come on in! [more inside]

Can metafilter force https? It looks like this as discussed a few times, the last being was just over a year ago. A couple specific things I find troubling:

• When I navigate to https://ask.metafilter.com, or any other metafilter site, it removes the https and takes me back to http
• Forms (except for login) seem to be submitted via http POST (even anonymous asks)

It's opt-in for members, but why not use it by default for everyone?

Feature request: enable https for everything on mefi, including posting.
