much secure
We would need to upgrade VB if I recall. I have it turned on with CF is that helps (SSL)
No, but VB is garbage mostly now. Would have to probably move to Xen which does cost money. There might be a way to do secure for 3.8 but I highly doubt it.
is that why chrome always tells me my connection to this site is not secure?
I HAVE MY CERTIFICATE INSTALLED - WHAT NEXT?
The next step is quite simple. Log into your vBulletin AdminCP, and then follow the appropriate instructions below for your version.
vBulletin 3
Go to vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Site Name / URL / Contact Details.
Edit 'Forum URL' and add the 's' into the URL.
For example, if your URL is http://www.contoso.com/forum, change it to https://www.contoso.com/forum
Then go to Settings > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Server Settings & Optimization Options > Use Remote YUI
Set this to Google.
vBulletin 4
Go to Settings > Options > Site Name / URL / Contact Details.
Edit 'Forum URL' and add the 's' into the URL.
For example, if your URL is http://www.contoso.com/forum, change it to https://www.contoso.com/forum
Then go to Settings > Options > Server Settings & Optimization Options > Use Remote YUI
Set this to Google.
vBulletin 5
Go to vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Site Name / URL / Contact Details.
Edit these three settings: 'vBulletin URL'; 'Login URL'; 'Core URL' and add the 's' into the URL.
For example, if your URL is http://www.contoso.com/forum, change it to https://www.contoso.com/forum
NOTE: Do not remove the word 'core' at the end of the core URL. You will break your site!
Then go to Settings > Options > Server Settings & Optimization Options > Use Remote jQuery
Set this to Google.
The key to all three vBulletin versions is that all you do in the URL settings is change http to https. Do not alter any other part of the URL.
Once you have changed these settings, go to AdminCP > Maintenance > General Update Tools, and rebuild the styles. (In vB3 this is AdminCP > Maintenance > Update Counters). Leave the default settings and just run this update tool.
Shouldn't have to upgrade software to put a cert in front of the traffic... but would have to converse with Jack to know for sure, depending on how he handles the inbound traffic handling.
you said you installed the ssl cert? maybe just need to do this? ive never run a forum though lol

Thought he said we'd need to update when I last asked him.
maybe the default vb settings are just pointing to the http site?
im just throwing guesses out there.
