1. Could you update that donate link? It doesn't go to a secure page.

You can use this code:

[div class="excerpt" style="margin-left: 1em !important; border: 1px solid #bfbfbf; border-radius: 0.4615em; box-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #999999;"][link:https://secure.readersupportednews.org/contribute.php|https://secure.readersupportednews.org/contribute.php]
The DU3 software doesn't seem to be able to do HTTPS:// links unless you put them in a [link] tag.

ETA - One caveat, if you preview your edit, that code will stop working unless you hit the back button on your browser and hit the 'Update my post!' button from the pre-previewed text. Or just don't preview it...

Your link does go to a donate page, but IT IS NOT ENCRYPTED. Make7 Jan 2013 #3

Sorry, I didn't notice the encryption issue. Jackpine Radical Jan 2013 #4

https:// links are secure - there is an issue with how the DU3 software handles secure links. Make7 Jan 2013 #5

Yes, it looked secure when I posted it, and I didn't look closely at what showed up Jackpine Radical Jan 2013 #6
