I'm having the same issue. Probably started a week or so ago. Tried changing the https to http, but it wouldn't work. I've just given up on getting to BBC on my phone.Originally Posted by Grizzly
I normally don't use the phone to view BBC but do have it saved to the Home screen and always worked before
When accessed now, it shows the script as posted by others. (.net)
Used Goggle search and the link (http://www.bbcboards.com) comes up as Error525 SSL handshake failed.
Don't know if that info ( .net vs .com) helps.
Above my pay grade.
The site does need an upgrade. Passing login credentials via HTTP is essentially clear text which is not good. I hope everyone is using a unique password for this site. Not using SSL in 2022 is pretty bad.

Please tell me what you have on this site (other than your name and city/state that you live in) that would need a unique password to protect.
Many websites are not SSL and BBC is one of them. There are reasons why I haven't made it secure; one being there is no need for it to be secure.
Secure websites can still be hacked; it happens every day.
The bassboat central site is .com, the bbcboards are .net.

Thanks Al
As I said before, above my pay grade.
Looking at it in the opposite direction. Unique in that you shouldn't use the password you have here on any other important site. If this password is taken so is that one.
Modern browsers are making it more difficult to view insecure sites as it should be. Firefox lights up all kinds of alerts going here. A better question why not make is secure? an SSL cert is cheap.
No question secure sites get hacked every day, so why not do the best you can?

Again, you have nothing on this site that requires a unique password as you don't have personal information on here to protect.
I've wanted to have both the BBC website and the BBC Boards SSL for years if for no other reason than to get rid of the "not secure" note at the top that Google started years ago
in their arrogance when they decided that all websites required SSL (whether they needed to or not), but there are reasons and concerns with not making both sites secure.
Both of the webhost companies that host BBC aren't 100% sure that there won't be problems if I make them secure, it's just not as simple as spending a few dollars each year and they're secure, I wish it was.
Obviously the cost isn't a factor, I spend a LOT more each month to the webhost companies that host the sites.
SSL will not stop hackers; if it was that simple hackers would be out of business.
need to protect our fishing techniques and fishing spots :) ha jk
Just checked. iMac and Safari work, iMac and Chrome work.
Last time I couldn't access the site, it was due to misbehaving.
Just saying, maybe you've been a very naughty fisherman.
If you type www.bassboatcentral.com in the address bar on chrome it just comes up with an error message.
I just did it and it went to the site. What is the error message that you're seeing?
We were having the same problem. Couldn't get BBC through Chrome. All of a sudden it seemed it wasn't supporting it. Downloaded Edge and now it seems to work fine most of the time on cell phone and computer.
I have no problem accessing this site using Chrome on my pc, just my Android.
I installed chrome on my phone to test all the complaints. Works fine. You all probably need to clear the cache and cookies and what not.

Been like that for months....
I would expect that is because your browser is trying to go to https and not http.
There are a few with this problem but the majority of BBC members aren't having problems accessing the Boards; the problem is at your end and your browser, most likely due to a browser update.
Google is forcing and redirecting websites to use TLS/SSL (I.E. HTTPS not HTTP) by default, you have to update the settings to disable this behavior so that it will not do this. Here are a couple of different resources to assist.

I've tried that and it didn't work for my issue. BBC is working now, but there's a lot of content not loading, like top/side banners.
I'm using a Mac Mini with the M1 chip, so Chrome is the ARM version. I'm probably in the minority with this config.
