Thanks for the joy of watching your work, Bruce. I have to say however that I'm having the same issues with Chrome, and tried using Safari, but it actually freezes the page when I try to load.

It would be a good idea to get things working on Google Chrome imo, as it is the world's most used browser by a long way (definitely mainstream) -
65.3% of users globally, with the next most popular being Safari, coming in at 17%. Firefox and IE actually only have 5.6% and 4.1% of users respectively. - https://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php

Perhaps you could show “us” where the information is? Thanks in advance.

I think its because Bruce's photos are hosted on his website and its http, not https, whereas acousticguitarforum is https so Chrome stops this behaviour by default. Other threads will be showing ok if the poster's photographs are on a https site like flickr etc.

It's fixable but its personal choice if you're happy to do it - I don't know if there are any wider implications and everyone should make their own decision about it.

Settings > Privacy and Security > Site Settings > Insecure Content > then allow www.acousticguitarforum.com

Hope that helps, it worked for me.

Beautiful guitars Bruce, I always enjoy your threads.

A better fix is for Bruce’ site to get an SSL certificate and go https. Easy fix for any web host, not too expensive to do, and more secure all around.

For hardcoded URLs there are simple tools available to make this change en masse in any decent CMS (content management system.) Regarding forum history, that content is still there. You'd just be routing that newly-secure traffic to the updated address, so http links will automatically redirect to https. Your web host should be able to help you, should you decide to go that way.

Exactly! Your webhost should be able to do this for a few buck and little other effort. Explain that you need all prior links to be redirected to the new https links. A phone call or e-mail ought to do it.
