• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Encrypted (SSL) changes to this site

It is what it is, but certainly not what it was.

Recently my programmer modified the code in this site so that it is compatible with browsers being offended at displaying non-encrypted webpages. What this means is that instead of what used to be http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/index.php, the site is now https://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/index.php

Some people may have gotten alerts from their browsers stating something to the effect that this site is not "secure". It really isn't a problem, since nothing of a really sensitive nature (credit card info, etc.) is handled directly via the code on this site, but I was told that this could possibly cause issues with search engines which may be more and more insistent upon SSL encrypted pages being required for inclusion in their databases.

Anyway, it may take a while before this change is recognized throughout all cached versions of the pages on the various servers between your device and my server, so if you get any odd results, I suggest that you simply manually use the encrypted version (https) and see if that doesn't clear up the problems you are experiencing.

If problems do crop up not resolved by this above simple "fix", let me know and I'll see if my programmer can come up with a solution. As always, any change to the code always has the opportunity to break something unexpected (which is why I don't make such changes unless it seems really necessary), so I wanted to give everyone a heads up about what is going on.
