Converting to https

It's pretty easy to see what's causing security problems on a page, using Chrome.

You hit F12 and the Developers Console comes up. If you use Chrome and accidentally have hit F12, you have seen this thing. If you've ever developed in CSS or Javascript, you already know.

The Security tab tells you exactly why the page is considered non-secure.

Changing ALL hotlinked images is going to be a drag, or at least, a dangerous thing. I'm not sure it can even be done. There's no global search and replace in the forum software. Each one of those images is linked with an insecure permanent BBCODE bit of text. The change has to happen at database level and it has the potential to break things.
