	Renamed the thread, this was about links not opening to a new tab, but it was fixed long ago. Also I am going to merge other threads into this one if they're about problems that are already fixed. Originally, Reality Check wrote:

Foggy, on your to do list could change the behavior on links to open in a new tab? Right now they open in the same tab and you cannot go back to the Fogbow using the back button. Oh and please create a subforum for reporting problems if that's what we had before.

I had the same problem yesterday with the tab, but I think I was able to use the back button to get back.

	I added the extension "External links open in new window (or tab, as the case may be). You can change the setting in User Control Panel --> Board Preferences (at the bottom of the page).

Done, thank you! I thought that was a setting before but I couldn't find it.

Post numbers is next, for Eurobot, who hasn't quite gotten around to nagging me about it yet.

and

and as I said once earlier ... let the dust settle.

Yeah, I saw that was missing but I am sure it's on the list.

The favicon is back, but you might have to clear your cache.

Yes, I had to do that. In Firefox I went to history and cleared the last hour. That did the trick.

When I try to open the normal "https" version of the forum I get a "Cannot establish a secure connection to the server" error. The "http" version works. It just started this morning. I am using Windows and Firefox.

I am also having this problem with Firefox and Ubuntu Linux.

Me three. Can get in on Chrome, on Firefox I get:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to thefogbow.com. SSL peer has no certificate for the requested DNS name.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Same problems: Chrome, Safari and Edge. Started this morning.

I'm in using the Avast browser. But it's not secure. Couldn't get in on Chrome.

Fire Silk browser working, but says not secure.

But it goes without saying that

Foggy Did Nothing Wrong

No kidding, poor Foggy...

I got it to come up in Chrome if I deleted the s in https. For whatever that's worth.

Yes, that's what I did. That switches you from using the secure version where traffic is encrypted to the unsecured version. My guess is that it is related to the change in hosting companies and something to do with the security certificate. It is no big deal for the short term since you are not putting stuff like credit card data in the traffic and it is a public forum anyway.

yeah well damn.
I'm in on the unsecure (http://) but then that keeps randomly logging me out.
Foghorn will get to it (he apparently has something of a life or fambly outside this forum -- who'd have thunk it?)

It's been intermittent for me, FWIW. I just connected on HTTPS and browsed a few threads, then it couldn't connect again and I had to drop back to HTTP.

Had similar problems this morning. None of my TheFogbow links worked. Now using the Not secure URL.

I'm working on it.
