Also it does not appear to me that this site has an SSL certificate, for logging in. Unless I'm not seeing some kind of module used when logging in. If not, passwords are being transmitted in the clear, which can easily be stolen. It also appears yoganandaji and yogananda.net do not either, as many of these forums do not. I guess they figure if the admin password is accessed, it's no big deal.
Example costs for godaddy:
$10 for domain transfer.
$48 per year for hosting for 3 years
$55 for 3 years SSL certificate.
Not bad really, but more than what you pay now I think. Also this SMF forum would have to be ported to a different forum engine, whatever that may end up being. My preference is something in .NET, not the standard PHP that is used for most all these forums nowadays.
Thank You for investigating. i have had many challenges with the gallery section of our forum. i am currently discussing this with SMF.: One of these is Shannon's paintings mysteriously disappearing. Also limited space.
