I suggest the credit card donation transactions be encrypted. I started to donate via credit card a couple of times in the past few months but stopped when my browser notified me that the form would not be encrypted. I don't need any more trouble from credit card fraud.

Actually, LWN's credit card transactions have always been handled through our secure server (Apache, mod_ssl 2.8.9, OpenSSL 0.9.6). It's all encrypted, and the credit card is never stored on our server. If you aren't getting the encryption, perhaps you need to update your browser? With Mozilla, you'll need the mozilla-psm package, if memory serves.

Okay, it must be my browser then. My apologies. I just today signed up with PayPal, so I just used that to make a donation.
