Hello,
We are rolling out https on most of our websites. This forum has now https (some minor issues are found and will be solved soon). After few weeks of testing we will automatically enable https for all logged in users.
We are doing the same with our main www.arduino.cc website but is still not completely working.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Looks good, once static.arduino.cc uses TLS it looks like the forum will be served completely private.
Of course externally hosted images people post will break this (if not https), but that is expected.

Maybe we can get locally hosted images.
What a novel idea.

You can upload images, but they are temporarily set as downloads. Using TLS might be part of the solution to the security issues mentioned in another thread. You can edit a post and add an [img][/img] tag for the uploaded file though.
Its just not really convenient when you're simply re-posting an already online image.
temporarily :o
Well that's good to hear.
Maybe we will get it back to the way it was 1-2 months years from now.

Really? How do you find where they are hidden?
I'll give it a go, make sure its still valid. I used this method before the upgrade.
Yup it works.
Just right click the image name and select "copy link address"

Thank You !
You would think they could/would add/automate this directly to their new and improved software.
Hmmmm.
OK, seems to work.
Manages to defeat the bodgie coding returned by that link.

No, "they" deliberately fouled it up. That is the whole point of the discussion.
There was no "tongue in cheek" icon for my statement.
Oh no, I suppose they will go and add one now.
Maybe they could add a crap icon though.

Rattle snake 
Any news on this.
It'd be good to have the forum (or .htaccess) automatically rewrite http to https, as my shortcut starts me off in https, but when following posted links (to forum.arduino.cc) they send you back to http.
Just found how to force https in google chrome.
You can add forum.arduino.cc to the HSTS list. Just open a new tab and view the page:
chrome://net-internals/#hsts
Now any link for the forum, even non-https will attempt to use https first.
