Hi,

Have a little problem with forum template not displaying correctly when accessed from secure url

http://www.hostxnow.com/forums/ displays correctly

<URL REMOVED> / displays incorrectly

How to correct this? I'm not .htaccess expert Sad

Cheers,

Chris
Can you maybe explain what isn't displaying correctly...?? Looks fine to me on both...
Displays fine in FireFox and Chrome but not in Internet Explorer 7/8 ?

In IE 7/8 I get a warning window show up like

http://f.imagehost.org/0250/untitled_6.jpg
I don't get those warnings in IE8 and the places where those lang variables are used work fine for me. For an answer to your initial question, something like this in your .htaccess file should work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP} off
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
I haven't tested that though, I just found a HTTP > HTTPS rewrite rule and reversed it.

All good now.

Grr, actually it doesn't work... the problem is this: say a user goes to http://www.hostxnow.com/support/ and then goes to the Client Area ( https://www.hostxnow.com/support/clientarea.php )

If the users then clicks on Community Forums link in the navigation menu it will then take them to https ://www.hostxnow.com/forums/

Could do with just redirecting https ://www.hostxnow.com/forums/ to http://www.hostxnow.com/forums/ or something. I'm out of ideas.
You do not have the minimum link back to MyBB. We cannot support you since you do not have this. If you want further support put this code in your footer:

Powered by <a href="http://www.mybboard.net">MyBB</a>
Is MyBB support not free then? a backlink is required to help with rankings, etc. Would a "nofollow" do? Sleepy

I have at least left the bit mentioning which forum software is being used.

I have figured out the problem now anyway.

Cheers,
Chris.
Hello there,

The forum you have posted does not have the minimum "Powered by MyBB" notice we require for technical support here. And yes it does require it to be linked otherwise there is no point in having it there. In order for us to give you further support, please add the following code to the footer template of your forum:

Admin CP --> Templates & Style --> *expand your template set* --> Footer Templates --> footer
Powered by <a href="http://www.mybboard.net">MyBB</a>

I will close this thread until you have reinstated the Powered By line. PM me or any staff to have this thread reopened.

Please feel free to contact me or any other staff member if you have any questions about this policy.

With regards,
MyBB Support Team

Yes, it's free, and yes you can use nofollow... it's nothing to do with rankings, it's because if we're going to spend time helping you, it shouldn't be too much to ask to have a bit of thanks and appreciation in the way of a small line of text in the footer.
