We no longer allow http connections to be honest sorry - most modern browsers will move to https for you.Nigel White wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2026 11:33 amI was briefly blocked from the site by Cloudflare today. I think the issue may have been the bookmark I was connecting via was http not https. Also I find that I am being logged out of the site with ever increasing frequency, despite telling it to remember me.
