The message says: 'Establishing a secure connection . . .' This happens everytime I open BFT or make a change such as switching to a new thread, or replying to a thread, or postin a reply/new thread. And all too often, the wait to establish that connection is too long and Edge gives me a message saying BFT took too long to connect. Sometimes, I can click the REFESH button and it will then connect, but not always. Since I'm not an IT geek, I don't know how to tell Edge to wait longer for the connection. But it would appear that the security checks are taking too long for Edge. Same thing happens on Firefox. Would that be the configuration you mentioned fishnotphish?
I see the same thing with Chrome, one thing that will help is hitting the back button, if refresh does not work, then trying again. When replying I will high light my reply, then hit the copy button above, the two pages, right by the scissors, just in case it times out before posting.
Bduck- this problem has nothing to do with the upgrade, the slow loading is a result of the hacker that go into the site several weeks ago. IT has not been able to find what the hacker did to make the site run so slow, so the owner is looking for a new IT person to fix this issue. It was either leave the site up as it is now or shut it down completely like they did the last time. This issue will be repaired in time, I hope they take up fishnotphish's kind offer to help fix this issue, sooner rather than later.
