ofc it's just a small issue but whenever i've been going to the forums via typing perpheads.com into the URL bar it defaults to the http:// version instead of https:// where i'm logged out.

if i click on any part of the forums it continues in the insecure version of the site unless i click on the "Donate" page and then back on the forums, where it then moves me to the secure version of the site.
like i said before it's just a small issue, i just found it weird and wanted to know if anybody else is experiencing this? is it just an issue on my end?

I don't have this issue, but you could try using addons that launch HTTPS if available. Here is one I found for Mozilla.

I found out I'm already running an Addon called HTTPS Everywhere, but even after turning it off it still only launched with https.

weird issue to have in the first place though
 
Honestly if I were you, I would consider checking your browser settings in general, as website servers should have permanent redirects set up in such way, that even if you purposely attempt to use the http version of the site, they move you to the safe https version.

This is etremely important if you login to sites where encryption is crucial such as your social media, banks etc.

Even when I think about it, you might also scan your computer with antivirus software, as when https is not enabled, and you use any credentials, they are not encrypted, and sent via the network in plain text. A virus could somehow force you to use http, and then "sniff"(intercept) the packets, and get your login credentials, as they were sent in plaint text.
