SSL - Secure All Resources - Need help

[ImJasonH]

Hi all. I recently installed a SSL certificate to my forum users piece of mind.

What I noticed is that the cert doesn't compress as there are some resources that are 'not secure'. To make the cert work to it's full potential, would I have to add https instead of http to all site resources (images, locations, files etc..)?

I have done some searching around but I mostly came across posts on how to 'generally' secure myBB, which don't help. So does anyone have some helpful information or links to resources so I can turn the https into https?

Thanks for the help,
Jason.

I have included https:// in the board config.
What else would I have to do?

The problem is that when someone adds an external image or so (f.e. using [img]) that is in http, your page won't be fully SSL secured. The easiest way to check this is to look at a forum page without embedded http images (or https embedded imagesl) and one with embedded html images.

This means that either you would need to ask your members to all use https links when embedding something, look if there's a MyBB plugin that does it for your (though I don't know if there is any) or disable the option to add images to a post (and signature).

So long story short, this is probably your problem:
