Lurking at sm.org, I read the report of a user that was having problems with the theme switching between http and https.
Without entering into the specific details, what I'm wondering is: why do we have to define the full URL for themes not on a "special" (e.g. with the assets stored on another domain) setup?
Why not simply store the relative url and append it to $boardurl?
That would also cut down on maintenance in case of address changes, one less parameter to fix.
The only thing you need the full URL for is for emails. Other than that, I don't see a need to not use a relative URL. I think I wrote about this somewhere on SMF.
That as well, but I was a bit shy to propose to go that far. :P
Why not? Browsers now change it to a fully qualified URI when you copy it
I am afraid I didn't follow.
Actually, I have a problem with this too using Multi Forum Addon. I think I might have edited the index.template.php to make sure all themes work accross all domain urls.
