Online Community - Comments, Improvements and Feedback

Dear Community,

We were pleased to see so many comments about the community on the recent thread about the Leader Board. We are always wanting to learn more about how we can develop the community and so have locked the previous thread so that all comments and suggestions about general improvements to the community can now be placed here on this thread.

Please comment here on any ideas, improvements or feedback you have about the Online Community. 

Please note that although we take on board all your ideas, we may not be able to implement all of them.

As always, please be kind and respectful when commenting to each other.

Thanks,

NAS Moderators

  • Can you please tell me what the 'Points' I have are for and how I managed to earn them? What do I do with them? 

  • Also, why is the NAS website's URL not safe? My URL bar thingy has a circle with an 'i' in it next to the address for this site which is making it very hard for me to reach this site as my computer thinks it's unsafe. Shouldn't there be a padlock there instead? This problem only started about 2 days ago but, if it's simply a 'website down' type of problem, shouldn't it have been fixed at least 1 day ago? 

    Please fix ASAP as the only way that i'm currently able to access this site is through Wikipedia which is crazy!

    When it comes to signing in, that involves https, which is secure, and thereafter in term of this being a public domain it cannot be secure as only community members would be able to read the posts if it were. Anything written on this forum involves http. Basically you have to give your device permission to access this site by tapping or clicking the circle with the 'i' in it, and taking it from there. I cannot advise on how to do the permission business, as my knowledge of practical computing is minimal.

    If you want to check the site security stuff, use the following link:
