Thanks Gizmo,
I know how hard you and Issac work, and that we would be in deep s*** without your involvement.
I for one am very glad someone is still taking an interest in the UBB. I can't begin to imagine trying to port my forums to another platform.
I'm just trying to figure out if there is a viable way for me to convert our forums to https so our users and the SEs are happy.
There is obviously no easy answer and a good chance to make things worse.
I did find this line in your reply interesting though...
"(such as having users upload their images directly into their posts vs using 3rd party services, and forcing them to not have images in their signatures and to upload their avatars to your site vs hosting externally)"
I don't know of any way the users can upload images directly into their posts. I'd love to be able to force people to upload their pictures, storage space is relatively cheap. That would give us the https control and eliminate broken images from external links that no longer work.
However right now the only way I know is either upload into the photo gallery, grab the url, and then use the insert image link. Or link externally.
