Whats involved in enabling this. Is there anything to do server side as well as in the forum admin panel. ?

It covers the SMF side of things, not the server side.

Thanks for that. I just tested my site using the link in that post and it seems that my site is set up for this type of connection. Which is cool. I don't know if I need it though or really how hard it would be to get it working properly so everything works the way it should. Never done it before.

At the end of the day, it was easier than I thought...   Just follow the steps!

Thanks again, this time for the encouragement. Maybe I'll give it a shot in a bit.

So I gave it a shot...The site is still up and running. I did have to use the repair_settings.php (2.1 version), but it says some images are not secure. What do I need to do about this image proxy ?? Any help at all for that one. :)

Bigguy

It's ok now. It was the logo image and once I changed that url I went to a green lock. Whatsurbeef is on a secure connection now. Thanks for posting that link up there Shawn. It was a great help.
