MyBB Community Forums

I have SSL on my forum working fine, except when users have external avatar images hosted on an http-only url. 

At first I thought maybe there's a way for me to get the forum to download and host the avatars instead, but then I thought how users sometimes embed images into posts, which would incur the same issue, and while my users don't embed images very often, it's a potential problem and I'm not sure I want it to download every image. 

Perhaps this is just an inherent problem with using SSL on a forum, and I should be content that it will work without warnings on login pages etc?

And pair that with a camo (https://github.com/atmos/camo) server to proxy content to get a setup that's like what is running here. This also has the secondary benefit of stopping sites from grabbing user IPs from hotlinked images.
