AS all of you know, the club's online presence is going through a few growing pains but nothing serious. For those who were using bookmarks and the website URL'S foothillsatvrider.com & foothillsatvriders.net there is a redirect taking place behind the scenes. What this means is the above-mentioned website addresses will be connected to the new website.
foothillsatvrider.com is now working but when you enter that address it's going to tell you that it's not secure but it's going to redirect you to the secure website address of fatvr.clubexpress.com. This will also occur with foothillsatvriders.net when it's connected. There will be a screen that pops up just go to the advanced setting and go to the website. That URL is secure and everything you do is on a secure site. The fee for a SSL certificate is an additional $45.00 a year and we are trying to keep operating costs at a minimum. When you finally reach the website, you will notice in the address bar fatvr.clubexpress.com, if you click in the address bar, you will see the https:// which indicates that the website is secure.
This new website continues to be a work in progress but for the most part, it's very functional. Guest passes will be purchased through the website but only the members associated with the guest will be able to make that purchase. Guest riders will be required to complete the application process using NEW MEMBER SIGNUP just like all members have done. So, if you’re a member who is looking to take a guest rider, contact me so you can be billed for the guest pass in advance only after the proper paperwork has been submitted.
I have included a couple of screen shots of the message that will appear. The first screenshot (101) will tell you that your connection isn't private but if you click on the Advanced tab it will show screenshot (102) which in short says that the security certificate is from .clubexpress.com which is our website host and that is is actually secure once you get to the site and start using it.
