Yes, that is called mixed display content or mixed passive content and it's still allowed to load because so many sites still have this kind of content so google is not really "taxing" us for this ...

I have an ssl on my site and forums and http images load up just fine so using SSL is fine to use even if you have http images from other sites ...

Well it really depends. I have users that access my site from work and are forced to use IE. The popup messages is an concern to them so it becomes my problem. An image proxy is the only solution.

Oh I hear you on that ... but if you explain to your members why those popups are triggered then they will understand... believe me if my forum's members are concerned about something like this I make sure I explain to them in detail what "mixed content" is ..why google and chrome feel the need to warn us about it and the risks of allowing something to load up if its not https hosted ...

So far I haven't had any problems what soever ... The responsibility of owning and operating a forum and website is knowing how to communicate with you members and explaining to them the risks of using not just your site and forums but any out there ... and what to do to protect themselves from these threats ...

The fact that I take the time to explains stuff like this to them is why my site/forums has been so successful and why I decided to put my site/forums behind https ....

I launched my website/forums in 2008 and it has been behind https since then without problems ...

So yes, "our" member's concerns are also our concerns and problems ... totally agree !!!

The makeup of users that visit your site are likely a bit different than mine. Most of my users are sports nuts and the warning scares them. They aren't as tech savy as gamers and tend to me older. While I can explain it to them it doesn't look good with new users. When I can get a good image proxy I will put my forum behind SSL and enable SPDY.

You can have an ssl certificate on your site to avoid the warnings without actually using the htps://.

You can also select what directories or parts of your site are behind https and which are not ...

On my site I need some images hosted without https and I use the following in my htaccess

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
You can do the very opposite of that as well ...

What do you mean. If you load an image or script over http:// on a site that is loading via https you will get the warning. Different browsers may display this warning in different ways but you still get it.

You can redirect all https: to http: and add both to the white list in your vbulletin options and you should not get those warnings.
