Tomorrow, I'll figure a way to point folks to the link in a way that only a human can recognize. Until then, folks can search chordal action

EDIT/update, no, this still fails too.
What seems to be working (for me, for now) is this:Copy/paste the linkSelect the link's textPress CTRL + KPaste the full link in the "URL" section (and click OK, of course).
That still makes the forum auto-edit the link text, but it seems to preserve the link (as non-https).
For places like forums where users can post stuff on their own, auto-https rewrite is probably needed to prevent the browsers from displaying any warnings.
A Solomon's solution I made (not claiming to be the brightest guy in the room, and this was just the first idea that came to mind):
bike.bikegremlin.com/bikeforums/
Automating that would beat its purpose, and I suppose it won't get too much use anyway.
Let's give it a try:
https://bike.bikegremlin.com/bikeforums/#1
Edit 2:
That seems to work.
My initial idea was to make
permanent (301) redirects, but that comes with its own can of worms down the road (IMO, based on my experience so far).
