Hello,
Sorry for the long downtime of TUS. It's server has been upgraded.
As StepS requested, we're now on https. (secure protocol, so your ISP can't see you're pulling each others' hair)
There will be bugs, please use the bug board to report them.
Cheers

Great news! Keep it up! :)
-
yeah.
but there seem to be quite lotta bugs so far ;)
added to my post in bug report (https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/bug-report/hacks-31037/): maps dont show in (those) reported games, but i guess all them reports are failed since i had that mentioned error mesage after each.

Unrelated note: Free League is back.

I find that TUS takes much longer to load now than it used to, is that something that will improve or are we stuck with it?

Generally websites perform slower under SSL protocol because there is encryption/decryption of data. But the time shouldn't be that high to bother anyone. How slow is it on your end?

Takes around 5 secs before the frontpage opens.

Anything from 5-10 seconds.
I know it's not the end of the world, I just find it a little like "CMON HURRY UP!" when literally every other website I visit loads instantly(really, almost the second I fetch the url).
If we have a safer more secure TUS then whatever, once it's loaded it's fine, it's just that initial load, like I said, not a big deal really :)

Ah Steps and his easy-to-do ideas :D i know that feeling :D
Joke, this was really needed ;)

This will generally depend on the server-side implementation and performance, not so much client-side.
However, in case you didn't know, encrypted HTTP/2 is faster than unencrypted HTTP/1.1: https://www.troyhunt.com/i-wanna-go-fast-https-massive-speed-advantage/
Encrypted HTTP/2 is supported in every modern browser, and is used on certain big websites, especially those with high load. Of course, implementing this would mean much more than just turning the https switch on. Also, it may break current API implementations.
Edit: confirmed, the main page takes a while to load, but other pages load fine.

When i load tus i get 2 entries in chronic, first says server upgrade

My browser (Firefox) gives me a warning sign ⚠ about insecure images. Also, when I go to home page of TUS, it takes like 6-8 seconds to load.

Yes, I can confirm that the main page takes a while to load, like said in the previous comments. Other pages work fine, only the main page is so slow.
You get an insecure images warning, because many images on the site, especially in forum posts, signatures and avatars, are externally sourced, with some of them using HTTP links. The only way to fix this problem is by setting up resource proxying. Any http element would be cached by the website, so your machine wouldn't load the insecure http images directly, but instead the site caches it for you, and you load it from the site cache. If the website can provide sufficient cache storage, this could be looked into but isn't mandatory. The biggest part of https is being able to authenticate and communicate (PMs, etc.) securely.
If you have the HTTPS Everywhere extension installed in your browser, there's a hardened mode ("Block all HTTP requests"). This would block any http elements on the website. Also, where possible, https connections may be used for images declared as http. So only a small percent of images would actually be broken.

Home page issue is fixed.

Now that tus is more safe and secure please feel free to send me your CreditCard/BankAccount detials to either my inbox here on tus or PIZZASNOOP if you see me online.

Hi! Should the tus api links also be updated to https on snooper side? (I guess, yes :D)
-
It should. If you don't, TUS will redirect you to https so it'd be double request. Please change it :)
