Hi Dave
Getting in through https://www.theforumsa.co.za/forums/...Industry-Forum
When I click on https://www.google.com/search?q=sa+f...hrome&ie=UTF-8 as usual, it times out.

I see Google is linking to the http version of the home page for some reason. It'll be an issue for logged in users as that must use https protocol.
When I introduced the https protocol on TFSA, I left the http version of the site open and relied on a setting in Google's Webmaster Tools to set the https as default in search results. Now that Webmaster Tools has been replaced with Search Console, it looks like that setting has disappeared.
I am going to need to do some fiddling to force the https protocol every time (which is the modern way anyway - so overdue, frankly).
Thanks for bringing the fault to my attention.

Hi Dave
I'm not up to speed with these protocols etc.
I have noticed the same thing on other sites that I use and this only happened in the last week. Wasn't sure if it was a problem on my side or not.
Is there anything I can do on my side to correct this on the other sites or is that just the way it is ?

Bookmark the Homepage when you are logged in and use the bookmark to visit for a while.
Interesting that it is a new issue on multiple sites for you. I suspect a recent tweak in Google behaviour may lie as the root cause.

OK. The problem should be fixed, Derlyn.

Sorted, thanks Dave.

Actually, I must thank you. It's a tweak I should have done years ago.
