Who is moving to https?
Anyone making the jump? Google chrome is starting to become an issue for sites not using an ssl as is Apple. I found out a couple days ago my IOS app will not be working as of January 1 unless I use https..
Does anyone have any strategy or plans for switching?

I have been using SSL now for a little over two years. I remember during the transition that the site's traffic plummeted. http and https are not looked at as the same url and link juice was deluded even with a 301 redirect. All those back links to my site lost a lot of weight. They were pointing to http and not https, and when I redirected the http to https through htaccess the site lost ranking. Lastly, it took some time for Google to reindex the site and update the site's urls.
Just a heads up, be patient because it will get worse before it gets better. If you're working on SEO, save your money until after you make the transition, because building up the http address is a waste in the long run.

I've been using it for a long time now with thanks to https://letsencrypt.org/ for free SSL certificates.

I think mine cost me about $15 a year or something. I do have an ssl set up. I just do not have it for the entire domain.

Best way to go using SSL in my opinion. People just do not trust unsecured sites like they used to.

I added https capability to my forum for anyone who wanted to use it, but its not the default.
The same applies to vb.org, it will work here if you want, but its not the default. We actually switched vb.com to use it as the default yesterday, since its needed for the IOS mobile app (mandatory soon).

I used https://www.sslforfree.com/ which uses https://letsencrypt.org/ for generating the certificates. It's easy to use. I just have no time to install the certificate on the server yet and the cron jobs to auto-renew.

It would be interesting to see how switching impacts seo and traffic to Vbulletin.com. --------------- Added [DATE]1480626162[/DATE] at [TIME]1480626162[/TIME] --------------- I have been working on this and it turned out to be more complicated than I expected. Certain things are not functioning in the admincp I suppose from being blocked by browsers due to not being secure.. First though I have these 3 items I have not been able to find or I found and changed and they may be cached. https://www.whynopadlock.com/check.php PHP Code:
