Hacker News Reader

I just went over there and clicked it and all that happened was the box checked/unchecked :(

Maybe it's because I didn't fill in any other boxes?

The thing I hate is the warning that tells me that I'm about to view pages over a secure connection

That is coming from the browser and is a good thing.

But it confuses/scares the average user, which is a bad thing. Just have your site be SSL all the time and users won't get this warning.

Rightly so, because it "is a bad thing" and websites shouldn't be putting users in that position.

Sorry. I agree with you. I am personally pushing (don't have much influence but I can try) for 100% SSL all the time at my place as well.
