At this point the SSL cert has been installed (if you logged in previous to this, you may need to clear browser cookies) and the basic permissions have been set to allow posts to be made. Feel free to note issues so that they can be corrected or added to the task list. In order for the owner to be responsive to the needs of the membership, the needs must be made known ....

What cookies need to be cleared to connect via https?

What cookies need to be cleared to connect via https?

Any old 2adefenders.net cookies and the site likes browsers to be set for https only connections, but that may impact other browsing at other sites.

No go. Deleted all cookies in Firefox, already set to Https always, still connecting via http:\\

Ok, forced it to https, Firefox registered an error b/c the cert didn't match the site name. Continued, got to your old Freedonia site, then added www & /viewforum.php, finally got here. Not ideal.

Firefox tends to default to the first time a site connection is made. Click on the lock by the site name:

If you still have the red line through the lock the clear cookies and site data option should have fixed that on the next connection. The other option should bring up the setting to force a https connection for the site.

This should verify which cert is being used for your connection and it should be this one:

Note that if you registered before the cert was installed, you probably ended up on the development site, which was located at 2adefense.freedoniatc.net and would have been operating under that cert until the site was placed into production.
