HTTPS and the Forums

[Orion Pobursky]

Wait a minute, will this break embedding images from brickshelf?
What's the background of this?
Why should linking or embedding http (instead of https) images (or files) be forbidden?

I would understand such a policy on an online banking site,
but on an LDRAW discussion forum?

I would like to better understand the reasoning behind this.

Both Chrome and Firefox will be labeling all content served over HTTP as “Not Secure” starting with Chome in July. This may have the effect of scaring off new users. I’d rather err on the side of caution

Chrome Will Label All HTTP Pages as “Not Secure” in Just a Few Months
Mozilla To Label HTTP Sites As “Not Secure” in Future Versions of Firefox
