Its on the general newsfeed first page of the website, its the image that it grabs from the link if i want to post a article from another website click here https://evcars.chummy.info/  and you will see what i mean you can see the blank squares where the image should be

Thanks Colin

because the image is taken from the website which does not support https and your SSL certificate blocks non-secure content, this is how ssl certificate works, do the search on the forum, before posting anything, this topic has already been discussed a bunch of times.

Thanks for the reply I did search on the forum but couldnt find an answer to this and I am no newby to forums and wouldnt have troubled you if I had found the specific problem on the forums.

So I cant host a fully functioning website on SSL 

Thanks Colin

ps it doesnt help when you have some forums posted with the title "I have a problem"

Which is why we have this post: http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/5092 However most of the forum members still ignore it.
