Hi Israel,

Nabble eventually will support HTTPS, but we are unsure about that. Blasma will take a long time to be finished.

I am becoming confused.

In September last year Blasma was to be in development again by November and was to be the definitive https/SSL solution and Nabble was only to have stability issued resolved. However, it is clear that Nabble is back in development from the minor improvements I notice from time to time (notably in improved display of forums on mobile devices). However, as a result, new issues are appearing.

The most recent statement from a Nabble Support Administrator about https/SSL was this:
http://support.nabble.com/SSL-compatibility-on-embedded-forums-might-be-fixed-soon-td7600510.html
but for reasons I do not understand the topic was not pinned so is now "lost" to most users.

It would be good to have a set of pinned and locked topic setting the current situation regarding these related issues that were updated as the situation changes:

1. Plans (with dates) for support of https/SSL within Nabble
2. Link to a topic that explains the process for establishing a "forum.mysite.com" in which to embed a Nabble Forum
   At the same time unpinning the existing topic:
   http://support.nabble.com/Note-to-embedded-forum-owners-td7599436i20.html
   which contains too much user specific information.
3. Add a topic that explains a similar solution (if there is one) to #2 for those who do not have a custom domain
4. Estimate for Balsma's release date

Any comments and questions could be posted in separate topics which would then fall down the list as they got increasingly out of date.

Alternatively, post something currently definitive so I can update this post:
