Question, is your blog running a different wordpress installation than your forum? Reason I ask is the blog is not encrypted, seems strange.
Same WordPress installation on everything I run. Blog, Forum, Museum, and Store are all different websites.

OK gotcha.. So you have your blog in the hosting root, and your forum in a subdomain. Guess that's OK to run two separate wordpress installations. But I tried that with a web-bbs once and ran into problems such as you are experiencing.
Personally I would run a single wordpress installation for the blog and forums. Sometimes simplicity is best.

They used to be part of the same site and it caused all sorts of problems for the whole site. The whole reason why they're separate is because they didn't work well together.

The other question was regarding the htaccess changes...

And it don't work well this way either.
If your running cPanel that subdomain has a root domain path that could be a problem. And http://www.forum.website.com really should be just forum.website.com in my opinion. www is only an alias but it looks good on a root domain. Never seen a www subdomain before, though it should work i guess.

Worked fine for years until last week when I added HTTPS to the domain.

So - looks like you did not update the forum permalink. I have done that.

This fixed the problem! Thank you!
Strangely, I clicked "Update Forum Permalink" early on in this discussion and nothing changed. May I ask how you were able to change it?
