Hi Richard,
I guess this is what happened to you: [0]. Upgrading should do a world of good to you anyway, not just in this respect.
Cheers Karsten

- You need to tell instant commons to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. I
believe that version of MediaWiki would only use https if your site was on https, so you probably need to manually set up the foreign repo via $wgForeignFileRepos using https instead of using the default $wgUseInstantCommons. (Git change 8517b3cb2276)
$wgUseInstantCommons in the LocalSettings implies that it will use HTTP and not HTTPS. This is probably a side-effect of MW 1.17 and being so far behind.
Setting up $wgForeignFileRepos according to this page fixed it. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgForeignFileRepos#Using_files_from_Wikimedia_Commons_:_ForeignAPIRepo
Thanks again guys! Your help has been very much appreciated in fixing up my little issues.
Now I can start researching how to upgraded to the latest version :)
