Site redirect wierdness

[Manu]

It's a brand new computer, zero cookies (I use AdblockPlus/Ghostery), so my next best guess is that I'll just figure it out - I just thought I might report a screenshot for the hell of it

Just a report, I'm going to figure it out (reporting this from the other computer obviously)

Works fine on all my machines including this one with Edge or Firefox, but Chrome does this:

Mine does that too. I think that you have to force modern browsers to use http (not https). When the browser renders the http with https, just the HTML text is shown.

I literally just figured this out... and the issue was there for weeks.

I think you're probably right, I thought of that too. Could not be anything else since I tried on a brand new machine. Nevermind anyway, I have all browsers on 4 different laptops so I can easily juggle with that. A bit of a non issue but worth a quick mention.

Going to leave a note to myself when I hop back on the new one, and force chrome into it.

Solution 1 Type in: chrome://net-internals/#hsts in address bar of chrome.

How Do I Allow a Website on Chrome?
To do that, open the desired website in Chrome.
Then, click the info or warning icon beside the site address input box.
Select Site Settings, then change the info or warning icon to the lock icon. Changes will be saved automatically.

W11 is a pain. I did get two W11 machines and it was a maze of stuff to get through and set it all up. Tough cookie that one, I have to say.

There's been something wrong with the bb software since day one.. I always get a "you don't have permission to access this page" every time I visit the site. Then I navigate to the forum page I want and it's all good from there. But yea, it's been going on for years...

I have it bookmarked straight on the forums page, and another bookmark for the administration stuff.

i dunno if it's chrome thing or a windows 11 thing. certainly a https thing, cos i see the "not secure" thing in the address bar.

i don't really have issues. very occasionally i have to relog in, otherwise the browser has a djf tab open by default and just refresh the new posts.
