My entire site now uses HTTPS, and as a security measure I have also enabled HSTS. Unfortunately even though the forum page is called using HTTPS all links within the page still use HTTP, which includes the <base> tag in the header.
This causes a problem with certain browsers like Firefox because when HSTS is enabled each page is forced to be run using HTTPS, and any links in the page which still use HTTP will be ignored. This means that no CSS files will be loaded, which means that the page is displayed incorrectly. If I turn off HSTS then the problem disappears.
Your code should check if the page is being run using the HTTPS protocol, and if so all the internal links should be switched from HTTP to HTTPS.

In the RC its said: Zitat: Ability to run forum on both HTTP and HTTPS simultaneously.
Maybe from the technical point this is possible, but browsers will not like that.
I switched to https already 2 years ago. As far as I remember there was no problem with fudforum as such - only with additional hardcoded http links which I had to change
At that time I learned to use "//" instead of https or http which allow both kind of links
