Anyone else had the same problem when switching to HTTPS?
this is EXACTLY what i mentioned in the other thread about https.
you will have a problem with all links and includes what are NOT on https.

so if you have NO FORM on your page where users have to send data (like email or personal information) i would not recommend to use https and i have NOT seen yet a site what suffers on that as long there are no forms in the page.

and i can tell you that i have analytics access to many sites what are receiving a few 100 thsd users per day from google.
