    Mixed Content warnings over SSL?

    IIS on W2k3
    w/ Regd. SSL Cert.

    I have a brand new vb forum for use at work.
    I am getting continuous Mixed Content warnings and I lose the SSL "lock" if I accept the content. Not the way I envision the product. I am afraid this will unnerve my users who requested SSL. Any ideas how to remove without users changing browser settings? I'm stump. What might be causing it? View Source is disabled. Although, when I login to vb from the server itself through IE, I get warnings about a yahoo style editor or something due to the extra server security???

    I'm in the process of trying to reproduce the error.

    Any ideads initially? Did I miss something in the docs?

    Much obliged,

    Some page elements like the cron image use the forum URL, so you may want to use https in that setting:

    Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details -> Forum URL

    And while the default software uses relative paths for all images, some people edit those paths to use full URLs. If you are using full URLs then you may want to use https in there as well. See this post for all of the image paths:



    The Yahoo thing might be this:

    Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Server Settings and Optimization Options -> Use Remote YUI

      YUI it is. Thanks.

      I had the https in the forum URL and the image paths were still relative.
      Disabling the Yahoo hosted YUI files did the trick.
      According to the Yahoo site...

      SSL Support for Hosted Files:

      SSL support is not provided for files served via Yahoo's CDN. However, Google's CDN does offer SSL support. Choose Google in the Configurator above to get SSL-compatible URLs, or choose files from the file roster above and replace http://yui.yahooapis.com/ with https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/yui/.



      Makes sense why I was getting the messages.
      Thanks again.
