Access to the website

My apologies for posting this to the Forum, but I can't manage to contact the webmaster - I'm told that Outlook no longer works and cannot understand how to go about making the changes required to send her a message directly.

My problem is that I no longer have access to most of the website and cannot make searches. I have used Firefox to get in for a long while but for the past week or two it has longer worked. I seem to have found a way into the Forum but there have been no new messages for a few days so I'm not sure if I'm seeing everything. My computer runs on Windows 11 but has done for the past few months, so I don't think that's the problem unless an update is to blame.

Although I rarely post myself, I read the messages on the Forum regularly and use the other excellent resources on the site, so not being able to get in is causing withdrawal symptoms !

Thank you for any help you can give me - I hope I'll be able to read it.

Regards

Re: Access to the website

check the address bar of the website it needs to show http ie mo s.

I had the same problem a few weeks back you also have to make sure the site shows NOT SECURE if it says secure change the setting,

Hi Judith

I've sent you an email.

Re: Access to the website

Hi Judith,

I am sure Denise will help you sort it out.

Its been a real pain since Microsoft changed the http to https. Its the "S' that is the issue. Our site as you know is 20years+ old and it doesn't take much for it not to work as we expect it too.

We still continue to operate and the transcribing for a number of churches carries on. Always in need of new transcribers.

Nice to see your name and I am always here if you need anything.

Regards.

Elaine in Ottawa. Canada.

Re: Access to the website

Hello Elaine

Thank you for your reply and yes, indeed, Denise has been extremely helpful, and, as far a I can see, all is now well to my great relief. I have also just discovered that I can access the site via the Sheffield and District FHS site without the dreaded 's' appearing. There is a link on the 'Starting out' page. That's all via Firefox.I haven't tried with Edge as I have read there are additional problems and anyway I usually use Firefox.

I may well get back to you as I need to revisit my Dickinson research done some years ago.

I'm afraid I'm committed to some other trananscribing at present, so I can't offer to help for the moment. If only there were more than 24 hours in a day!
