Heart Bleed
Was this one of the Web sites affected? If so, has it been fixed?

Re: Heart Bleed
Most likely not. HeartBleed exploits a security hole in SSL encryption, which is about websites whose address begins with "https://" and not "http://", so this website is not at risk, although the server which hosts it could be. However, that would not affect this website, and it won't affect you. if you want to see an easy cartoon explanation of how HeartBleed works, look at this one from XKCD:TEA wrote:Was this one of the Web sites affected?

Re: Heart Bleed
It was only sites using the OpenSSL software. This site does not. See this topic for more discussion http://texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=72296" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
