[*]MyCode images (on/off)
Prevents displaying non-HTTPS MyCode images by replacing them with links.

[*]Avatars (on/off)
Requires remote avatars to be linked to over HTTPS.



My questions is Does Use that plugins are more Secured by Allowed To Use Remote Avatar or Is Allow Bad user to Put A url virus or other to Hack the Board even with that plugins ?


my another question is Using mycode Image With that plugins are more secure to use bbcode Like normal settings on board and probably allow user to use bbcode Without https ?


if  Decided to Allow bbcode and url on board what you recommend to me ? About security

Hey,
HTTPS generally doesn't mean virus free. Viruses can be transported over both HTTP and HTTPS, but it's hardly possible to include them in image type files at all- and it's generally not a risk for your server, at most for your users, but any builtin antivirus will probably catch those.
So to answer your first question- no, HTTPS won't make it virus free. It sort of already was in the first place.
As for MyCode images, the answer is about the same.

But is it a good idea to go HTTPS only, even for images? For 99% of use cases- yes. So I'd recommend using it regardless.
