Would you or Al check the FC Forum? The main listing shows a Last Post of Jan 1 1970 (basically a time value of 0) for the General topic. I think we've had so many spam and deleted posts that something got confused. It'd be great if either of you could get that fixed. Thanks!

Both Edge and Chrome now automatically redirect to https, even though I specifically enter http into the browser. Any ideas on how to turn this off? The instructions I find online don’t seem to apply to the current versions of these browsers.

It worked for me on my desk and laptops. Phone I use Firefox.

If I tinker around with things long enough, I can get to the right-hand window with the message threads, but I can't bring up the left-hand window that includes the search tools. Which means I'm probably not really loading the page; I'm just accessing one of the sub-windows (or whatever they're called in developer speak). However, I'm a frequent researcher of prior posts and would really like to be able to do searches on something larger than my phone. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I use the full URL
http://www.starfleetgames.com/discus/
and it works from edge. I do have to tell it to continue.

Firefox on desktop works for me to access the forums, but other browsers don't.

I use that URL as my bookmark, but a recent "upgrade" to Edge on my computer automatically redirects that URL to the https version. I then try to delete the "s" from the address bar, but it still sends me back to the https. I don't get a prompt asking me if I want to redirect or continue to the http; it just does it. According to the instructions I've found online, there used to be a security setting in Edge that allowed you to toggle the auto-direct on and off. However, it appears that the toggle was removed from the security settings in one of the Edge updates earlier this year.
After Edge changed, I started using Chrome for the BBS because it would accept the http version of the URL. However, within the last few weeks it also added a redirect to https. I haven't been able to find a security setting in Chrome that would override the redirect.
I could try Firefox, but I hate to add a third browser to my computer.

That Chrome and Edge operate similarly makes sense since they are using the same engine. Honestly, everyone should have Firefox, at least on Windows, as it has its own engine, so it provides an alternative when Chromium browsers (like Chrome and Edge) have an issue. And do know that sometimes Firefox just won't work, because not all website developers test for it.
As an aside, the removal of http is inevitable. It will happen. That it would happen with no warning is a little odd, however.

Did someone change the web-coding behind the BBS? It's no longer redirecting and is loading just fine in Edge now. I didn't do anything on my end that would explain the change.

Good morning Jean, I could not get my login to work for the store so I sent an email.
