For some reason, my forum has been loading through http://thetarotforum.com/index.php [nofollow] (Not even SSL, which it should have!)
However, if you change it to http://www.thetarotforum.com/ [nofollow], you get a white page without the theme.

Is this related to the theme folders?  And how can I get SSL back up and running?

check the 'step by step conversion to ssl' in the server section for guidance and making sure you've done it right...

for your issue above, i wager your pointing everywhere.... search for and download repair_settings.php for your version of SMF, install and run it, then delete it... make sure ALL the paths match (https://www as opposed to http:// or http://www, ect)...

edited to add: here is the link to repair_settings.php, and instructions: https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Repair_settings.php

your site loads the same for me, with or without https or www

you are almost there so if you are running Linux then you need forcefully redirect all non-SSL (http/port 80) data to SSL (https/port 443) via .htaccess something like the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://thetarotforum.com/$1 [R=301,L]

The configuration of my Linux VPS (SMF 2.0 with 160+ mods & some assorted manual tweaks) can be found here and notes on my mods can be found here (warning: those links will take you to a drug related forum). My (House) music DJ dedication page is here

The links in the OP seem to be working perfectly fine and redirecting to https, so I'm gonna assume this is solved. :)
If however I am wrong, and there are further questions regarding this, feel free to mark this not solved again and post back to let us know.
