Thank you for the explanation. I may buy one or just make a donation to help support it. I think it would be a nice thing to have.

Regards,

My apologies to anyone who was getting an "insecure connection" or "Potential Security Risk" or similar message (depending on your browser) this morning on the https:.. version of wildwinds. The server people wrote to me:

It was happening between ca. 04:30 a.m. and 13:00 hrs English time today. So sorry about that !

I wanted to look at a DVD the other day, and realized none of my four laptops has a DVD player. Good idea to switch to USB.

I had never a noticed a "donate" link on WW previously.

I just went out and made a donation via PayPal.

I too find it an absolutely indispensable tool for attribution and researching for a given coin.

Dane,
While I have no problems using the site, I get a security warning every time I use the search function. I just click on "go anyway" because I know the site is fine. It may be off putting to others to see that. I always assumed the site just wasn't using https and, when I just checked, I see it still isn't and it is labeled as insecure. Not a problem since you aren't doing things that require security. I didn't even realize there was an https version. Now I know. But the search function is still not secure even using the https version based on my quick test just now. The difference is that the search box tells you the form is not secure before you enter search parameters. Once clicking to run the search, you still get the security warning. It is no big deal, but thought I would let you know. I love Wildwinds and use it all the time.

Joe, you can get an external DVD player for almost nothing that has a USB connection. I still use music Cds, so having a player is essential for me.

Thanks,
Virgil
