No SSL when I first load my site.

So I have a Mybb Forum and I have SSL that works fine when you're browsing the site, no errors or anything. However, when go to the site for the first time there's no SSL on the homepage, if I click a link to the homepage or type it out with "https", it's fine, but if you just type in "website.com" it won't force the HTTPS even though I have the setting activated. Am I retarded? Or do I need to contact my host provider?

Are you running it through cloudflare or do you have your own SSL certificate? Just because you have SSL doesn't mean that the server is going to force users to use it.

If you are using CloudFlare they have a "force SSL" option, and you will also need to do a page rule to redirect to a HTTPS url.

I'm so fucking stupid.

I wasn't forcing it, the option was confusing as hell as it's green when disabled and red when enabled. But yeah I have my own cert, thought I was forcing the server to use https but it was backward ass russian colors or some shit.
