Hmm, that's weird, since we should be proxying non-SSL images precisely so we don't get the mixed content warning. Lemme look into that a bit more...

Oh... Sorry to have uncovered an issue. :( I actually don't have anything from photobucket on this particular account, but I still get the yellow exclamation mark, which does go when I use an extension to block images. So it mustn't only be photobucket images. (Just to be sure about that I just right-clicked and viewed the "page source" on firefox for my entries page on this journal, and did a "find" search for photobucket, but there was no result).

EDIT - no phobucket but it appears the lock icon for my entries and and the userhead on my custom layout are from imgur - imgur have http:// only links.

Yeah, if you replace the CSS for your custom layout with HTTPS versions of the images, the mixed content warning will go away. (Mood themes, too, if you have a custom one.) I've opened an issue to see if there's any way we can proxy HTTP images in CSS and mood themes, but there might not be; if not, you'll have to find a place on the internet that will host them for you using HTTPS. (Or even put them on DW.)

Transferring all my layout images on my accounts to Dreamwidth is definitely on the to-do list, as Photobucket images can be painfully slow to load at times. I'm not sure I'll bother with the existing images in entries simply because there are so many, but from now I'll probably use Dreamwidth for those too. Is there any plan in future to enable albums in the image hosting area? That would be the icing on the cake. :) (Little steps I realise!! Just putting the thought out there).

Images in entries shouldn't be a problem! They go through the proxy already. :)

Yeah, tagging and albums and all that good organizing stuff are on the list of things to do in the future -- the trick is just figuring out how it should behave.

Oh cool - that's good to know re images in entries. :) I have hundreds of entries with images on my main DW account (recently imported over from LJ). Planning to make that one a premium account.

And awesome re albums etc. I shall watch this space!!
