On the client side, most browsers have a setting to force the use of https (at least chrome and firefox do). I just enabled that on mine and that takes care of the problem of links that send you back to http, as the browser makes those https for you.

I went to using http:// for the home page after having major complaints from my antivirus program due to an expired certificate, a couple of years ago, that went on for several months until I got tired of dealing with it. That may have been resolved for the moment, but given the level of support for the site, likely to come back. I just don't use credentials that I use anyplace else.
