I'm glad to hear that!

Hmmm. That is indeed weird. I'll take a look at it and see if there is 
something that needs to be done.

Indeed. That is something I am also not very happy with. As it is: If a 
Vsite is suspended, there is supposed to be a redirect to the 
/gui/Forbidden403 page of the GUI.

You do get the SSL verification error if you don't redirect all GUI 
access to the FQDN of the server, though.

This can be changed in "Server Management" / "Maintenance" / "Server 
Desktop". Set the "Redirect to Server-Name" to enabled and save.

When "Redirect to Server-Name" is enabled, all HTTP or HTTPS access to 
GUI related pages from Vsite domain names will be redirected to the 
domain name of the server itself. This prevents the SSL certificate 
mismatch.

It is planned to change the message that is shown when a Vsite is 
suspended. It's high on my list of changes for the closer future. When a 
Vsite is suspended, we will show a special page that can be customized 
to some degree and can also be personalized to show a message that will 
be shown on that particular suspended Vsite.

GUI wise it will work like this: When you tick the checkbox to suspend a 
Vsite, it will unfold a text input field where you can enter a 
personalized message that will be shown when someone accesses the 
webpage of a suspended Vsite.

If the suspension  page is not customized? Then it'll show the BlueOnyx 
logo and the message "This Virtual Site has been suspended."

And if you choose to customize it, it will show your logo and company 
info and possibly also the message of yours that you specified when you 
enabled the suspension for that Vsite.

> "Elmer" theme is very cool!

I'm glad to hear that you like it!
