Hey guys,

first of all, I'm novice with this, so please excuse me if I can't make myself clear or confuse you.

We finally decided to put ssl to work, to have a https:// domain. When we did, it messed up our forum. Like the whole design and template was gone, it was all white with no style at all. I don't know why that happened.

As a workaround, I allowed firefox to visit the unsafe version of my forum, without the https. It worked then. With Chrome also. But well, that's just a workaround and not the solution.

Well, we tried for 14 hours now to fix all this. lol

Now the forum links don't work anymore. When I click on a link to a specific forum, it just links to the main forum.

Also, some icons don't work anymore. The icons that show new posts in a forum, etc.

You can look at it if you visit https://c2c-wrestling.com/

Maybe some of you have a clue of what we're doing wrong or whats missing, that would be much appreciated!

Thanks!!
You didn't search a lot.
In ACP » Board Settings » Site Details, modify Board URL and Homepage URL to match your url (so, with https).

Small tip: you can also just use //c2c-wrestling.com (without http(s):)

We got that now. We almost got everything.

The problem with missing icons (or false icons really, they are just weird new ones) and the non-clickable forum links is still there though. Any idea?
One of your trouble is that you use https://hosting139885.a2e61.netcup.net/C...Wrestling/ and http://c2c-wrestling.com. Choose which url you want to use, and keep only it.
The second is that you use font awesome but it's not loaded (for thread status icons). Check your theme installation / instructions

The links are working for me.

Thanks! That may help! We'll check it out.

The links aren't working. Click on "Regeln" for example. It links to the board, not to the forum that it should link to. Don't click the banner with "Regeln", click the link above.
For your links, it's a template issue. Your code is:
<strong><a href="https://2020.c2c-wrestling.com">» Regeln</a></strong><div class="smalltext"><a href="https://2020.c2c-wrestling.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=2"><img src="https://2020.c2c-wrestling.com/images/Foren/regeln.jpg" /></a></div>
The link is ok for the banner, not for the textual link.

Look the source of your page (ctrl+U on most browsers) and you'll see the following comment:
<!-- start: forumbit_depth2_forum -->
The faulty template is forumbit_depth2_forum which is in Forum Bit Templates category

Alright, I think I might have it.

Only problem I'm seeing now is with the icons. Our provider doesn't allow us to add the icons, somehow.
I'm still seeing broken styles, and the Board URL still seems to be http://c2c-wrestling.com not https://
