The solution I posted is changing the link to a relative link. When the site is accessed via http, it will load the image via http. If it's accessed via https, it will load via https. If you want it to always load from https, just change the prefix to https.

In our store, when you log in, it prompts that some information is not secure. If you say "do not load the stuff that is unsecure" what is not loading is these images. Because members can and are newbies, any reference to "unsecure" scares them, which leads to them not purchasing things in our store. So.. I am trying to find a way to make it so this message doesn't appear, and the only way to do that is to make our images secure as well.

If I'm doing something wrong, please let me know. If there is an easier way of doing things .. too let me know.
