I could use SSL for my entire website, but I read on my ssl specification (hostgator) that it's not compatible with mobile.

So, what happens if somebody wants to visit my world-most-secure-useless-forum from he's mobile phone ?

This seems to be something specific to hostgator, there shouldn't be any differences with a mobile user and ssl in normal situations. Mobile devices do throw an error if you don't have an intermediate certificate setup though, so perhaps they don't include that for some reason on the free ssl cert offering. You would have to check with hostgator though to have them clarify.

It appears that google now gives a little advantage to https websites.

And it's better for boards using IP.Nexus.

This should be a default option in the ACP : "do you want to run your entire board with HTTPS ? Yes or No".

That's all, I don't want to operate with the paths, the files etc... There is always a problem somewhere, someday.

This requires server side configuration and setup that is not likely to be available with most hosting providers.

"On the backend we wrote a simple HTTP proxy in nodethat runs behind our normal nginx setup."

would be nice to know how to though (and have it work with ipb if needed) for dedicated/vps users.

wondering if tht affects speeds though.

any thoughts?

Honestly it wouldn't be my personal preference as it's skirting around the insecure content issue, making it appear secure when it's actually not. To me is tricking your users to make them think the page is 100% secure.

yeah but its a damned if you do/don't issue.

if you block all non-ssl embeds you get complaints.

you allow it you get complaints.

the complaints over the browser warning actually seem to me more of an issue as users think something is drastically wrong.

right now I am not https (for the week, doing stuff) but I think when I re-enable I will just do it for store and logins. about the only way to avoid confusion and is better than nothing.

google just included https as a positive ranking factor in their SERP algorithm. Don't be surprised if you dont start hearing more about this in support tickets as news speads, and the possibility of google increasing importance of ssl.

they will probably open their own certificate business soon :lol:

They just launched google domains beta, so you are correct. :)

Run the first step of the support tool to clear the cache and that should fix that right up for you.

That normally fixes it. Try clearing browser cache or a different browser.
