i find a problem. when i click the windows edition icon at the follow page, it just would‘t start to download sometimes.

https://bitshares.org/resources/downloads

I think there should be a direct link on the thanyou page in case it do not start download automatically.

thanks yes will update downlaod page this week! Yes its caused due Thank you page i guess, which should track downloaded wallets!
ut yes, we've to find another workaround. I'm planning to add hidden frame/layer to solve this issue!

Will post here if done!

This will seem weird but please, remove the github icon and only link it at the bottom on the "The BitShares source code is also available via the GitHub" as a text link.

Currently it's the first link they see and you're sending users to a confusing site they don't understand instead of the executable.

@cass
I don't see on the home page any link to the bitshares github repository !
Please add the link https://github.com/BitShares
somewhere to  the bottom of the page 

ok yes you'll find github link under downloads .. but will add it to bottom menu also !

How can one view the bitshares market using the browser.
I know I used a link once for a shared wallet for testing.

Would it not be a good idea to have a link on the website to a neat GUI showing the active markets (spread, charts, orders etc).

You can also get that on bitsharesblocks.com

That is a very good point.  Here is the demo:

ok charts are working again! https for faucet.bitshares.org is in the works!

[svk]

update: svk will order a ssl cert soon!

Update: It's done, thanks Cass for chipping in

Like Cass I was able to pay the $95 certification using Bitshares thanks to Shapeshift, it was quite simple and fast!

[svk]

ok https is gonna cause issues with the tickers, since svk doesn't has an https api server yet!

That isn't all:

First, you can use HTTPS with code.highcharts.com and fonts.googleapis.com and coinmarketcap-nexuist.rhcloud.com. Then that just leaves faucet.bitshares.org and api.bitsharesblocks.com.

Also, why are we not hosting the various javascript scripts that we are using ourselves rather than linking to other sites (even if it's over HTTPS) to provide them, such as highcharts, jquery, google, facebook, to name a few (not to mention others from hosts I know nothing about and don't personally trust).

And, rather than using JSONP to get data from api.bitsharesblocks.com, I would prefer if svk could enable CORS on api.bitsharesblocks.com for at least the bitshares.org origin (but he might as well do it for * so that anyone can use that data without JSONP).

I actually switched over from using CORS to JSONP a few months ago because CORS was being unreliable and only worked half the time. JSONP is better because it allows you to bypass the issue, but it appears it doesn't work for https -> http calls.

Anyway I've made the /cmc api call non-jsonp and added CORS to it, checking with Cass it that works.

ok fixed font ssl and highcharts ssl issues .. disabled highcharts.js for now cause currently we're not using it anywhere on site .. (installed for testing purposes only)
