Full Version: One of my threads when googled leading to an https...??

I googled a topic on my forum to find it and when clicking on it, it leads to my site with an https, which causes it to render completely screwy. Not sure if this is the only one that does this or if there are others. (I have googled a few others and they are fine. but obviously can't check all).

I guess, A) how could this be happening?, and B) is there some sort of redirect I can write so that my topics don't lead to links with https? (eg https://mysite.com/* to http://mysite.com/*)

Thanks much in advance
A -- no idea!
B -- redirect rule like below might help
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} = on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourforum.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Thanks .m. Will try this and report back.

Anybody know how this might have happened, am curious to know.
If your site has https issues, you should fix it, as there are people using https everywhere. (Better not to support https at all than have it broken.)

Anyone can use https when linking to you and Google picks up those links. But if you set a preference (or a canonical) Google should respect it [in the long run].
