In Profile Accounts > Global config, the Create SSL URLs tick box.

Scenario: My site is SSL enabled. I create a custom field for Profile_Website, so that a member with their own website can add that to their JR profile.

I add that to the Profile template using {$profile_website}, and use an 
<a href>
to link it. However, the user's website is NOT SSL enabled.
Example: http://djsomething.com

Does this mean that the browser will not trip an SSL error when someone views that user's profile page?

Just want to understand that better.

Thanks!

no.

from an SSL site you can _link_ to anywhere you like. you just cant pull in stuff from a non ssl site.

so you cant have an img src="(non-ssl url here)".

@michael OK cool. What does that setting do exactly then?

If you click on the small question mark to the right of the setting, it tells you what it does:

Quote:
Checking this option will cause local non-SSL URLs that are embedded in text items to be shown as an SSL url for logged in users

Hope this helps!

@brian - OK so it refers to non-SSL URLs embedded in (say) item details? Such as details brought over from youtube imports? Which I see often.

Not custom created form items.....

It's just for local URLs. So for example, if I try to put:

http://www.jamroom.net

in the forum here, for logged in users that will be converted to https: so they don't get directed over to the non SSL side. This really only matters for sites (like jamroom.net) that run both SSL and non-SSL at the same time.

It will not change YouTube URLs or any other "non local" URL.

Let me know if that helps.
