HTTPS links in notification emails, and/or auto-upgrade to HTTPS?

    Hallo,

    I just noticed that although the forum's web server supports HTTPS, the links in notification emails are plain HTTP and if you manually change to HTTPS, navigating around the forum downgrades you back to HTTP.

    Since logging in requires entering username/email and a password, it would be good practice to use HTTPS throughout by default, and maybe automatically upgrading to HTTPS if someone lands here via HTTP.

    2.5 Years later... maybe a good point to look into it again? It's pretty easy... one redirect for the http site to the https site, one little change to the links that are being sent...
