I finally resolved a problem that had plagued the board for a duration:
*Some buttons at top, including the sponsor page, had been defective.
*"http" was not redirecting to "https".
turns out the htaccess file was corrupted during a software update and had to be reloaded. all should be good now. if you see that something isn't working, do give a holler!
board issues fixed
