I can edit posts which were made a few days ago under this account. I don't think we changed the post edit times with the upgrade.

We already redirect non-secure HTTP links which go to pages on this site to secure HTTPS links.. I don't see how that could cause any problems, as long as HTTPS is working, which it is.

i used to be able to edit posts as needed. now i can't. looks like it only allows about a month or two back to edit and then that goes away. i see no reason to have a time limit on it.

the HTTP vs. HTTPS was a change another site did during some conversion. to all of my links to pictures on my website (which does not have HTTPS there's no need for it). so it made all my pictures break until i fixed them. which i did. then a few weeks later they converted the site and used an old backup to restore it which had the broken links still in it. grr...

If I just click on "What's new" and not the down arrow beside it, I get:

"Latest posts"

That must be the same as "recent posts" before the upgrade.

The arrow beside "What's new" prompts a dropdown menu for other lists with "Latest posts" not included.

Different browsers and devices will show different webpages and features. My phone shows a three line icon for a useful menu.

Thanks, That is what I was looking for.

It's because a page which loads non-HTTPS images will show a "mixed content" warning saying that the page isn't secure, even if the site is HTTPS. Here, we have an image proxy, which proxies the images through our server before loading them, to avoid mixed content warnings, without breaking any links.

you are still not understanding, these are images hosted on my own website which does not use HTTPS, they're not attachments. i link to them using [ I M G ] codes. as an example see https://www.theeasygarden.com/threads/stubbed-toes-and-mud-pies.21224/

I don't see what I'm not understanding. I'm not talking about attachments. The image proxy is used to avoid mixed content warnings on hotlinked images, it is not used with attached files, as it is not needed. It sounds like your images broke on that other site because they ran some sort of database query changing the URL of all images to HTTPS. We don't do that here, what we do is we proxy the images through our own server, so the page loads as secure. It actually wasn't enabled here, but it's enabled on BYC. I just enabled it here, and now you can see that the page loads securely, despite the hotlinked images from your non-HTTPS site, because the images are proxied through this site.
