    I'm pretty sure it is. If you mean the redirect from http to https then yes I think soon.

    Actually I didn't notice because of the redirect, however it seems that some advert serving (or something) is still causing issues on both the main site and forum.

    In general I like the new site and forums (especially), I can't say I'm too fond of the facebook and google tracking **** you've included but it's blocked by default anyway.

    The adverts and tracking is above me. Honestly I'm not a fan. The advert stuff is a pain and is being worked on and has been for a while.

    I've already reported the reason for this here and it's because the link to the bit-tech logo is hardcoded to http

    Edit: PS, this is much more obvious in Firefox than it is in Google Chrome where you just get an ⓘ in the url bar

    I've read bit-tech for years and years but man this "redesign" is awful. I don't mean to criticise peoples hardwork but its far far to cluttered on the homepage and its hard work to look at. At one point down the page there are 6 visual columns! Your content is king and needs to stick out more to the eye than a bunch of images. Also you said it's "truly mobile" I don't get that as the site isn't responsive.

    Should be fine now. This was when a ton of stuff was going on and i missed the fact it's done per style not site wide. This is now fixed. Thanks as always. If I've missed something feel free to post again or message me. Things are a lot less hectic now so i can more easily make changes.

    We're working on it. All i can say. Thanks for the feedback
