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.

I dont really have any interest in updating the software anymore tho.

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.
