Goto http://www.apache.org and read the mod_ssl manual. This isn't an issue with the forum, because SSL operates on a lower level: as an OSI layer 5 protocol like ftp, http or gopher. The interface (=forum) u re using would be layer 7| Quote: |

This is ur browser telling u. probably just images from a different server which does not run SSL(avatars, icons, linked images etc). They will get loaded unencrypted. Storing stuff locally should solve the issue.

When I 'moved' my forum to a different directory, I had to go through and update ALL of the references by hand that still pointed back at the old directory. You must do the same. This doesn't happen automagically.
cd to the top level of your forums directory.
find . -exec grep "oldlocation.yourdomain.com" {} \;
and then output that to a file to go find all of the references you will have to update.

If you modify your domain you need to do 2 things, #1 change WWW_ROOT inside GLOBALS.php, #2 rebuild the themes so that your changes take affect.

I have set up FUDForum for use over SSL using Apache and Mod_SSL and have not had any problems.
One irritation I experienced was due to browser cacheing of files from before to after the SSL switch which resulted in Windows internet Explorer thinking that it was receiving 'mixed-security' content. This resolved itself by restarting the webserver (IE now saw all served files as brand new and didn't rry to use cached files).

It was a pain to modify those files by hand the way I did it - the hard way.
