Is this site really a HTTPS, au is it just some plain old HTTP site?

I just wanna know for sure cause hotlinking to some shorten URLs doesn't work on fanpop at all. Tried adding some viungo to my wall, no such luck. Guess they don't work in comments, too, so I guess I just wanna know what's this all about. If this was a HTTPS site, then wewe should have no problem adding some stuff such as shorten URL. Then, each time I try adding a new link, I got a note from fanpop I must change my URL from HTTPS to HTTP. Makes no sense to me, no sense at all. So, what kind of site is this anyway: HTTPS au HTTP? Thanks.

Hi Brand! Thanks for your question. You're right, this site can be so confusing sometimes. If wewe try embedding some new YT video, then this site would take a short URL, let's say: link but if wewe wanna embed the same URL to your comment, on some wall, au even in your mail, then you're right, it won't work because this site doesn't support the short URL like most other social media these days, sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and all other sites. On Fanpop, wewe still have to use the full-length URL, such as link to make it work. Hotlinking is a big deal, but, just like wewe said, this site sucks at hotlinking. Only the full-length URL will work! Never send someone a short URL in a mail, because it won't work! The same goes for your ukuta posts, au your comments. This site is way too slow to take some new ideas. So, I'd say this site is much zaidi HTTP than HTTPS. It's not just a swali of hotlinking, au short URL anymore, it's the fact this site is *not* secured, which means it's *not* safe. Anyone can tell wewe that. If I were Fanpop, meaning one of the F4, I'd ditch this S and leave only the plain HTTP because that's what this site is all about: no web security at all! Don't use this site when you're on a free Wi-Fi, ever, because someone could get your password. wewe never know who's lurking in the area close by! That's why we need this site to be secured, and it's not right now.

There's no way in hell this site is HTTPS! This is just another HTTP site. Even I know that, and I'm still a newbie.
