Question Converting form to SSL. SEO questions.

[weinstoc]

We want to convert our forum to SSL. Questions:
- What do I need to do within DragonByte SEO to make this happens?
- There are absolute URLs throughout the forums. Can I just do a global 301 redirect?
We're concerned about SEO ranking obviously.

Thanks,

Chuck

Nothing. Change your Forum URL in the vBOptions (global)

- There are absolute URLs throughout the forums. Can I just do a global 301 redirect?

	# Force SSL:
	RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
	RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Thanks. My concern is that just doing a global 301 as you show will hurt SEO. But I don't see any option.
