Just about everything ever created for JN6 will be at GSC. Keep a watch there. People are sorting through the files now but will take a while. There are masses of files.

All Links versions will be represented there and you know me, the LS series is my fav.

I also had a problem. I'm using Firefox. When trying to type in my name to create a Login Profile I get this message:
"This connection is insecure. Logins entered here could be compromised. LEARN MORE:"
The "LEARN MORE" suggested I contact the Site Manager and confirm the site is secure. I did not provide a screen shot as the Warning Window did not show up in the screenshot. I continued on anyway and got a similar screen to Daniel. I'm getting a little long in the tooth, but if I remember correctly Firefox has a feature that allows users to overide these kind of Alerts. I just need confirmation that the site is O.K. and I will figure out how to overide.

The site does not use HTTPS so it will get flagged by your browser as "not secure". Basically means if a site is HTTP there is not an encrypted connection between the site and your browser. HTTPS is quickly becomming the standard and I was surprised this site did not use it.

Thanks for posting this technical info. Here is hoping the site managers read it.

I use Firefox as well and it's overly cautious throwing you out warnings on all sorts of silly things. It doesn't like the HTTP as shagboy mentioned. The HTTPS is important if you are passing on sensitive personal information for example a bank website.

However, you can also access the site using HTTPS. Use the link below and it should resolve all issues. Firefox will now love you. :clapping: :thumbup:

I'll change the link in the opening post as well. I've had the HTTP link bookmarked for years now. Back then Firefox likely didn't have the flag in place.
