https versus http - messes up thread framing. Help?

[K-fab]

My forum has an issue with framing and display.

When people link a YouTube video on my forum, if they have "https" it tends to completely screw up the framing.

If the post links with https - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQExHNrucho
- the forum displays this way:

If I remove the s out of https - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQExHNrucho - my forum displays correctly:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2015/09/16.png

Notice the change in framing?

Anyone have any thoughts?

Got a live example on your forum so we can look into it?

[Brandon Sheley]

A live example would help for sure. The screenshots just look like one is centered, one isn't.

[Zachery]

One looks like AME and the other looks like a normal embed.

Okay, here are two examples. The top entry is with https, the bottom is with http

https versus http issues (http://www.minibuggy.net/forum/glocks-corner/21550-ignore-im-trying-get-help-https-issue.html)

Coding is as follows (obviously w/o the spaces) - and this is the only line in each entry.

Top entry, that has the messed up framing:
[URL = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2NKa48M-p0"]To the Moon![/ URL]

Bottom entry, w/o the s:
[URL = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2NKa48M-p0"]To the Moon![/ URL]

The s seems to be the culprit, but why?

You can see that it splits the post above the signature line with the s in https, while w/o the s all is correct.

Quick fix
Admincp > Styles & Templates > Replacement Variable Manager

Search for Text: https://www.youtube
Replace with Text: http://www.youtube

Okay, went in, put that in place and nothing...

I'm guessing that this string looks for https and replaces it with http?

This is what is wrong in the page source for the first one...

<div id="post_message_308606"><!-- google_ad_section_start --><a href="https://<div style='text-align: center; margin: 20px;'>


I don't know why it's putting the "<a href="https://" in front of the <div> tag, but that is what is causing the issue.

Thank you Lynne! Now... how do I go about fixing this? (very novice user here...)

You can always use the replacement manager for Lynne's suggestion and replace

<a href="https://<div

with
[code]<div [/div]

This is assuming that the <a href tag is completely unnecessary

Disable all mods and see if it still happens. If you have post caching enabled, you may have to turn that off for testing.
