Our most tech-savy member I know of posted this in September of 2022:

YeOldeInn does not really enforce http vs https. Mostly when you log in you wind up using https, but most links are http. It's considered best practice in 2022 to force everything to https … but we don't (and in fact for some reason I can't fathom, that might be what's causing the 503s on the gallery.)

At some point I really ought to fix that on the server end. I'm just reluctant to risk breaking anything anything until I'm directly prepared to fix it on the spot. And I'm not right now. (n fact right now I'm sick, so operating well below capacity here…)

I guess you should use http, because https returns an error sometimes on this forum. It is why (sometimes) we are unable to see pictures from the gallery when we are logged in but we have no problem when logged off.

Which reminds me of a slightly tangential question that I had and never got around to asking...when posting "internal links" on this site should we be using the https format or the http format in the link? Does it matter?

And whilst I'm on a roll what is the format for a URL that takes you to a specific post?
