For test purposes I put a certificate and enabled HTTPS on Dyxum so you can try using it (just change the address to https and enjoy).
Please note: I have not yet created any redirections or URL rewrites so some things will still be broken, e.g. if somebody used a link in a post (using [URL] BB-codes) and placed http:// then browser will switch to HTTP instead of HTTPS. This concerns all BB-code links to other posts or threads or subforums. Good example is any of the Themed Views index pages (e.g. Themed Views Index. PLEASE DO NOT REPORT SUCH THINGS AS ERRORS - this is normal and will be resolved when the time comes. Having said that, if you encounter any other problems, like "mixed content" warnings (i.e. "some elements on this page are not secure") or lack of HTTPS after clicking any link that is not "user-driven (like the ones in BB-codes) then please report it either by PM to me, or by sending an e-mail to admins (see the link at the bottom of the page) or just reply in this thread. EDITED When reporting issue please: 1) Describe the problem, i.e. what the symptom is (screenshots?), 2) Provide steps to reproduce, e.g. "I was on a page (provide url) and I clicked that link/button/picture/thingamajig and then THIS happened 3) Provide the info about the browser which was used, Edited by MiPr - 14 February 2019 at 20:02 |

Ray, be careful ATM - it is easy to jump out of HTTPS! For example: I've just realised that links in notification e-mails sent by Dyxum are not https ...
Anyways, I want a few days of "clicking through" before I enable it fully. |

One more effect: all photos on Dyxum are hot-linked, which means that we have no influence on their URLs. If those URLs are HTTP not HTTPS then probably there is nothing we can do about it - the warning about mixed content is probably unavoidable.

Now the redirect was added and Dyxum seems to keep working as usual If it collapses overnight - deal with it

Well done, MiPr - not sure how much work was involved but that you've done it and the effect seems to be seamless is a great reflection on you and your resolve.
From Flickr at least, the images appear to originate from an https link so for those subscribers I assume we are okay. Thanks again and best regards, Neil. |

A year after MiPr's great work I just noticed that not the whole site is secure.
Entering some threads via the Themed View Index stil leads to an unsecured page (got a message about this from my browser) This does not apply to all themes, but some only (depening on the date of origin??). The index page itself is safe, but as example, "Museums" and 'Looks like a paiting' aren't secure. "A new year with Meyer" however is secure. Seems it needs another bit of maintenance. I hope somebody can have a look at it. |

You'll get that message as soon as one of the images on the page is linked from a non secured site. So I think there's very little we can do about that, depends fully on where the members are linking their photo's from.

Some members reported that my images weren't showing on Chrome and Edge in a recent post. I use Firefox so hadn't noticed. I seems that to allow insecure content, such as images hosted on http sites, you have to tweak your browser settings.
On Microsoft Edge... Settings Cookies and site permissions Insecure content and allow https://www.dyxum.com On Chrome... Settings Under 'Privacy and security', click Site settings and then Insecure content. Next to 'Not allowed', click Add and insert https://www.dyxum.com |
