Did anyone else have to reload the Bonsai Nut link in their favorites? Mine stopped working on all three of my Apple devices. The only way I could access the website was to Google Bonsai Nut and click on the first link on the list of hits. Just typing bonsainut.com didn't work.
 
The last several days I have been working on all the site redirects. What this means is that everything SHOULD be redirecting to https://www.bonsainut.com even if you have a different link. For example:

http://bonsainut.com should redirect to https://www.bonsainut.com
http://www.bonsainut.com should redirect to https://www.bonsainut.com
https://bonsainut.com should redirect to https://www.bonsainut.com

Interestingly, it seems to work on all browsers except Apple. So I have to debug why Apple doesn't like me :) Just make sure that you have https://www.bonsainut.com in your browser address, and you should be good!

It's all good, after I created new bookmarks. But for a while, I thought maybe you weren't paying your bills!:p
 
As we are asking about BNut functioning.. If I do a search, and open the result in a new windows, that page has me as being not logged in. :| A bit annoying at times, as I then have to get the URL, paste it in a new browser to load all content. Is this a feature or a bug?

Sounds related to cookies.
Every time you load the site, do you have to login? Or is it set to remember? Even if is set to remember, does it stay logged in?

If cookies aren’t enabled, it won’t keep you logged in :).
 
I had the same problem on Wednesday. When I tapped the shortcut icon on my iPad home screen, the URL was “localhost” and it wouldn’t bring me here. I deleted and recreated it, and no problem, except the icon looks different now.
 
One evening last week, also on Apple devices (iPhone 7 & MacBook Pro), I got "unsecured site" warnings every time I tried get on using the url fill-in feature on Google Chrome. I did a duckduckgo search for BonsiaNut, clicked on it, and after a day or two, the option of going to the unsecured site quit popping up. This happened when I was in a hotel in DC.

This is due to a change in browsers, versus anything directly having to do with the site. For security purposes, browsers really want all web site owners to use Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) (the secure version of HTTP). You can tell the difference when you look up in your address bar - you should see a little green padlock icon, and the site address should start with "https" as in "https://www.bonsainut.com". We upgraded to https a while ago, but some people may still be using old bookmarks to http://www.bonsainut.com. Starting a few months ago Firefox and some of the other browsers started sending people security warning messages if they were going to go to a http site. Is the security warning real? Probably not in 98% of the cases... but it is a way for the Internet community to force the issue and get web sites to clean up their acts.

I have been having some strange issues with traffic forwarding over the last couple of days. The way the site is SUPPOSED to work is if you navigate to the site via an old link or bookmark, the site should forward you to the proper address... https://www.bonsainut.com.

So check your bookmarks... and make sure they point to https://www.bonsainut.com and you won't have any problems. Of course, if I can fix the glitches in my address forwarding code, you won't have problems regardless :) I am working on it as I type this :)

Mine stopped also.
 
even the old ones should work after you set up the redirects since the redirect will send it to the https addres right?

It should... but people have been having problems particularly with Apple devices. I try to test my changes on different browsers on PC, tablet and phone, but I only own PC's and Android devices - no Apple.
 
I had the same problem yesterday but not every time I tried to log in.
I also had the same problem just once today.
Everything seems OK now.
