DegreeForum security
#3
Unfortunately, degreeforum.net defaults to plain HTTP for pages and content. Sometimes this gives the annoying insecure content issue you describe. Worse, they haven't set the secure flag on session cookies. You may be able to work around this in your browser. Some web browsers, including Chrome, allow you to manually force domains to use HTTPS all the time. Everything on degreeforum.net that I've found works just fine with HTTPS, someone just needs to set that to be the default.

If you're using Chrome, open a new tab to chrome://net-internals/#hsts
At the top, under "Add HSTS domain", enter degreeforum.net, check the box to include subdomains, and click add. This adds the domain to Chrome's HTTP Strict Transport Security list - instructing the browser to always use HTTPS.
