Site security update

Hi there Niet & Crew,
I was wondering, will this happen with the comics too? Because I have never seen a part on it that makes you put in a link for your pages.

I still can't understand something:
if our images are originally stored on a site that's just http: will there be a problem with them displaying here?

It's worth noting that if the URLs start with "https://" then you're fine, there's nothing you need to do about it.
The thing is, most users only have 10 mb to work with, which isn't really much. When the switch happens will this increase?

10MB is quite a lot, if you use it wisely. For instance, save photographic images as JPG with appropriate compression. Save PNGs with optimisation - the entire collection of sprites on PFQ is less than 7MB!
There are currently no plans to expand the space allowance, but since it's just a number it can be changed in future. There's just no plans to do it right now.
EDIT: Of course, you can use any uploader, not just ours - provided it allows https:// URLs. Our uploader is just the easiest one for users since you're already here.
Well then this certainly throws a monkey wrench in being a template creator. As someone who makes a lot of templates the 10mb that the image uploaded offers as standard is no where near enough space to upload all of the images I would need to upload in order to change everyone's template images to https. Even as the smallest size possible it's just not feasible, at least to offer it as an alternative for template makers. Probably good for the person that just uploads the occasional actual picture but not for templates.
I mean I do understand the reasoning behind doing it, a secure website is better than a possibly compromised one.
Guess I'll have to go through manually and add the https to all my imageshack urls, seems it'll work since their site itself is https they just don't give the direct links in https

Welp finished uploading and now I'm starting to think we need some Folders or way to divide thing, I'd love to be able to split the Images I just uploaded in some kinda of categories, even if I don't have a lot ATM, it just feel funny like this~ P:

(I love to help out with Trade-Evolutions BTW, I'm always happy to help out others in need~ :3)Emberlynn, tell people to host the image themselves, and delete your uploads after a few days. If they missed it that's kinda on them ^^;;
Anyhow. I'm dumb as a box of rocks and need clarification-- Will plain ol' links (things that use url over the img bbc) be all right?
