Clicking the Links on The Home Page Results in no Login
#1
The links on the home page, shortcuts to say cycling or LRT threads appear to lose the login.

It looks like they are pointing to the non-https version of the site.

Edit: Confirmed, if I manually add https:// back to the URL that corrects the issue. So the links just need https:// I think.

Or better, just use root-relative links: href="/…" rather than href="http[s]://…".

Of course this assumes there is a redirect from http to https; but it’s also the reason why many years ago (decades, at this point) I realized it’s simpler just to run the entire site on https rather than carefully figuring out which parts needs https and which don’t.

Ahh yes there were a couple of links that seemed to have the http in there and so when we switched to https they're doing that.  Should be fixed now.  Please let me know if it's not or if there are any other such links you stumble across.  Trying to find them all.

Thanks, working for me now.  I'll ping if I find any others.
