This week we updated our older site now uses the encrypted HTTPS protocol for all browsing. We had held off on this change for a number of years because users had embedded images and videos in the site with absolute http:// URLs, which would break with that change to force encryption. With much content moved off to new native-HTTPS pages, some , and a lot of testing we were able to make this change without significant impacts to content visibility.
