I was wondering if it would be possible to modify the [Youtube] tag mod so that it is possible to use https links too instead of only http? Because it would make it much easier to cross-post videos posted on TI-Planet (which uses https, for some reason.
Currently, if you use https, it says #Invalid Youtube Link#.

Indeed, we are going to fully go into https-compatible mode on our side (not only it's more secure, but with SPDY, it's also faster), so whenever we are trying to get external media, we try https, so that while in http, it won't matter, but while in https, it won't complain about loading froman insecure place neither :)
You probably have to edit the embed html-side of the bbcode :)

I think Omni had plans to go HTTPS too, but buying (and renewing annually?) an HTTPS certificate was deemed too expensive and nobody here could even come close to afford it, so the idea was scrapped permanently (doing it for free was out of the question, because It's annoying for the user on some sites to be greeted with an invalid certificate signature warning every single session)

At TI-Planet we are using a free certificate service :) https://www.startssl.com/?app=1

$8 a year, I could pay that ;) (and would, if its ok)

I thought it costed hundreds of dollars?? O.O
I guess maybe you could warn Netham45 about those services?
-
I heard there's somewhere that gives out free SSL cerificates, as Adriweb said. You guys should check it out.
-
Don't some of those still display a warning about untrusted certificate in some browsers, though? (especially Android)
-
IIRC Netham said taht the problem is that Cloudflare won't allow ssl certificates unless you give 'em (i think it was 20) dollars per month
-
Free SSL services aren't trustworthy, but if they have a price, even 1 cent, it should be valid and at least work somewhat decently. If you have to pay, that means they want information from you (or moneys :P) and the $8 is probably nonprofit. So... Just be careful.

Yeah I think if it's gonna cause problems (plus the part saying it might require personal info that I read yesterday is kinda creepy-stalky) then it's better to keep things as it is now.
