If i go to your site `ns-community.folio3.com` I do not get the https version of it

This will mean, that emails that are sent with give the http:// version as it also dont get the https:// version

the email is setup like this:

> Welcome to %{site\_name}!
> 
> Click the following link to confirm and activate your new account:  
> %{base\_url}/u/activate-account/%{email\_token}
> 
> If the above link is not clickable, try copying and pasting it into the address bar of your web browser.

I would suggest you look at your https:// setup. Once you fix that, your email links will be fixed.
