Hi
We chose to use https on the funcube warehouse to protect login registration
info. It turns out that the certificate provider we use does not fully
honour the protocol and does not send the organisation 'O' code.
We are aware of the problem and are going to revert back to http and remove
login registration requirement. 
This will also allow the map to work on all browsers.
We will still require that users of the dashboard enter their site info.
Email validation will still take place.

Just in case, hoping for some good tips/suggestions;

IT topic 1: Funcube-1 Warehouse
When I go to https://warehouse.funcube.org.uk/ranking.html?satelliteId=2
on my Nexus 7 tablet (Android 4.4) I get the explicit warning that this is
unsafe.
No other website gives this message. I knows it's an https site, but still.
Any thoughts ?
(ps: I just clock continue and it's all fine, but it still feels
uncomfortable)

IT topic 2: Triton-1
http://www.isispace.nl/HAM/
I have Bitdefender Internet Security as spam/virus/.. software on all my PCs
here.
Never I have seen it blocking a website.
But: . this Triton website is immediately flagged as unsafe and blocked: so
I did not go in.
Any thoughts ?

IT topic 3: AMSAT Email
For the past 3..4 weeks my ISP blocks amsat, so pa3guo @ amsat.org does not
reach me.
Best way to contact me is via pa3guo @ upcmail.nl.
.. Initially I thought it was my ISP, then I suspected AMSAT, and now I
don't know anymore, but I hear more people in the Netherlands have this
issue, also people with a different ISP, while other people with the same
ISP can (!) use amsat.org without problems. It seems to be a sticky problem.
