For my new vBulletin 4.0.7 forum & blog installed this week I will have a URL mix of http and https depending on whether the user is logged in to the overall forum owner site or not.
From within the Admin Control Panel, inside settings for Site Name / URL / Contact Details the following 2 settings are set:
1. Forum URL: http://www.etc Etc. is given in this thread as I cant tell you the domain name as site will be published in a week or two.
2. Always use Forum URL as Base Path: No
Due to the No setting for Forum URL as Base Path, I assumed to find any forum links converted to either http or https. But the setting does not work at all, as the forum for all the links always brings me the http even when overall site is set to https. So all the links are still absolute and not relative.
How to let vBulletin bring me the relative URL’s? I could have set the Forum URL setting to https://www.etc. of course but that’s not what wanted as I will have the mix of http and https depending on overall site status.
