Not sure if this is my pc but Microsoft Edge Browser has just updated to a newer version on my pc and now even though I can access the indexers site it wont let me access the forum (using Firefox for this post) I was wondering have others encountered the same problem.


John

When you say you can access the site but not the message forum do you mean you can use the rest of the site ie search?

When you say you cant access the message forum - do you mean it brings up the message forum screen but when you click to enter the forum it doesn't do anything? Or do you mean when you select message forum from the menu on the left it doesn't do anything?

When you access the site - whats the web address start with 'http' or 'https'?

I can access everything else except when the forum. it worked perfectly well until it updated. I have just got in from work so I shall try again, however on an older version of edge whhich is on my phone it works well

ps just tried again with edge and no luck its jsut stuck showing bravenet etc at the bottom of the screen, the web address starts http so unsure what the issue is.

My laptop just installed new version now that doesn't access forum either however it works on my phone as this is an older version. Anyone know how I find where caches are on Microsoft Edge please

I've just downloaded the latest version of Edge and can access the Forum okay (as per this posting).

Cache is under - Settings...Privacy, Search and Services.

Denise

Goodness knows then. Perhaps it's because it is set to bing search need to change to Google or perhaps its a setting I need to change but which it is I don't know. At least I can gain access by firefox. Just says pub11.bravenet.com/forum/907514572 at the bottom left and just stops.

Think I am beginning to see the problem that microsoft edge is geinning to go like google chrome where its defaulting http as in the indexers to https. perhaps it might be worth looking at reverting the website address to as such. Even if I type in http etc in google chrome and log onto the home page when you click on message forum it revets to https

Suggestion John,

Why not stay with Firefox which I have used for the last 25+ years with no problem for the site or you.

In Edge, when the web address comes up as https it will have a warning triangle to the left of the address and say 'not secure'.

Right-click on the warning triangle and you'll get a pop up window
Select 'permissions for this site'.
Scroll down the list to 'insecure content'.
The box on the right should say Block (default)
Use the drop down to change the option to 'allow'
Close that tab which takes you back to our site
A message at the top will tell you to 'refresh' the page.
Select refresh and the site will return as 'http' and everything should work.

If you want to use Chrome I can send you a list of things to try?

HELP I am trying to post on my own question, says I am not filling catchphrase in - Help there isnt one and it clears question

Denise

Hi Denise

Hi David

I'll email you!

Denise

Anyone knowchow to change edge on phone because you can't right click failing that I shall gave ti install a different browser

John

iPhone or Android?

Denise

Android...sorry only just seen your reply on break at work

Having same problems with site. Not been able to get on through Chrome for weeks unless I right clink on the links and it opens in a new tab. Now unable to get on Microsoft Edge on my PC now either as get a message saying site/ form is nor secure. What is happening? Don't want to have to download a third browser.

Hi Lois,

I have two email addresses for you with both being returned as undeliverable.

Could you contact me please.

Elaine.

I'm having trouble too. I use Chrome and had to right click to open in new browser which worked for a while. I then reverted to Edge which worked for a while but today I've downlaoded Firefox which seems to be working ok. Fingers crossed.

So sorry to see that a number of you have problems with the new security updates from some of the Browsers. DeniseL our Webmaster will try and help you as much as she can. BUT please let me know if you have problems.

In the mean time good "old" Firefox works well. Our site is 20 years old next year and the scripting is old and may cause more problems if we try and change it. So you can see we are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Thanks for being so patient.

Any update on this problem? I have been experiencing this as well - I generally use AVG Secure Browser which is similar to Google Chrome. When I enter a name to search (baptism, marriage, school etc.) and press the search button, nothing happens.

Hi David,

The solution is harder than you would think to this security issue/browser.They have added a security feature as in http to https which is causing us the problem.

I am sure DeniseL our Webmaster will contact you.

I know Firefox works well.

Any suggestions? Please let Denise know as I am an IT novice still after 20+ years. LOL.
