This site should use HTTPS

It's 2021. There's really no good reason to be using regular ol' insecure HTTP. It's not only "best practice" but it's a pretty basic way to make sure your users don't get their data stolen. As a side benefit, it'll improve your ranking on Google since they downgrade sites that they deem to be "insecure" (by not using HTTPS).

We hadn't been able to do this for a few reasons, but you're right! The forum now enforces HTTPS with a shiny new SSL Certificate. There are some issues like links being clicked that have "http" hard-coded in them will open the wrong URL (it'll look like forum.rifftrax.com/forum.rifftrax.com/index.php?link=etcetc) but I hope to get that fixed soon.

Can we get the "Unread/Updated Topics" links back too?

I think I can arrange that.

I also am repro'ing the Likes image issue, I'll see if I can work on that once I get some extra time. (He said, two months later...)

Okay I added an Unread Topics link next to your username at the top, as that kind of made the most sense to me.
