Let me explain. We have many users who type in our domain name in forum replies. We also embed forum replies on the main site so now I have some HTTP internal links instead of HTTPS. It’s not a big issue, but if I could make these HTTPS as well, that would be nice.

This is correct, it doesn’t trigger a mixed content warning 🙂

Is there anything I can do? Besides monitoring replies and perhaps writing a script to update URLS 🙂
