Since some time, I am using SSL login and communication with FT.

While it works mostly fine, there are a couple of problems:
1. I can't use in writing and editing posts all the functions, like smileys, formatting etc. none of that works under ssl login.
I have to switch to non-ssl to get those functions to work.
2. The front page is not properly displaying and so is the profile/myFT

I am using Firefox and only google analytics is blocked (right now).

I would like to hear any help or advise, but I doubt that this is a problem related to my browser, but an issue with the FT site.

I believe it would be in the interest of many if not most to have ssl connection, and it would be fine if someone could pick up on that.
Thank you and BR, Bernie2012
Our SSL implementation was a quick patch to allow SSL transaction to establish a secured login. After the login session is securely established, it is possible to switch to non-SSL protocol to avoid external elements warnings and other related issues. We are working on full implementation for this.
