Dear Moderator,
I've just been trying to edit a message and the site refuses to connect up to allow it to proceed. Something to do with security. I've tried a couple of times but I just lose my addition.

How old is the message that you trying to edit? There is a setting that allows editing for "x" hours so that mistakes can be corrected but then stops further changes. I can't recall what Mike set it to, but could that be your problem? Which post were you trying to change?

I was trying to edit my post in the General Discussion section regarding the “dream garage” query that I put up at 8.21 p.m. last night. Each time I edited it and then pressed “Preview” I got the legend “Cannot securely connect to this page” and “. . .unsafe TLS security settings”. I got my post up above and tried later to edit on my “dream Garage” post and finally succeeded with an edit. But when I tried to amend my message here the same thing happened and I was unable to give you the good news!

Thank you, Mr Webmaster!
I didn’t understand a word of it but Number 2 Son did and now all’s well; the “Use SSL 3.0” needed to be ticked.
