I have started my own image hosting site Ken, and its ssl secure too, more coming later about that.

Sounds good Less, be sure to keep us posted.

Steve, maybe I just need to remove my sig.

EDIT: Steve, is my sig image showing as posted here for you?

Tinypotal doesn't have a secure site Ken, so you will have to host the image here, but you can still link it to TP

Les and I found out the links to the gallery will not be secured if used elsewhere on the forum for some reason. I believe it is cause there are links in the gallery admin that use http. Mainly, the smfhacks link and the twitter link. Smfhacks.org is not secured and the link to twitter in the settings uses http instead of https.

I uploaded both of our avatars to the avy folder on the server and now some pages show as secured like Help.

EDIT: I just uploaded your avy too and it works. The forum main page shows as secured.

Nice work on the avatars.  :thumbup:

Looks like our main culprit now is just the gallery.

I just finished regenerating the thumbnails and now everything looks secured to me except the gallery page itself!

This process seems to be a bit of a can of worms because of the external links that we have on our sites, especially externally linked images.

Yup! I try not to use external images and try as much as I can to host them myself if only not to hotlink (use other site's bandwidth).

Just did a little surfing through the site using the SMF Default theme and in that theme all of the pages show as unsecured.  :o

I did that yesterday and noticed the same thing. I checked it thinking the theme was the culprit. There are images in it that are unsecured I think but didn't get a change to check them yet...

I've found a little known setting that may also help. In the admin, under Cookies and Sessions enable:

Quote
Force cookies to be secure
(This only applies if you are using HTTPS - don't use otherwise!)

I've enabled it here and on my forum.

The Gallery shows as unsecured.

EDIT: but individual pictures show as secured.  :o
NOTE: this was while in the WorkDesk theme.

And the SMF Default theme still shows unsecured in all pages.
