    Hey @Esther Wisdom Ever since this update, I have been getting warnings from both Safari and Chrome that the connection is not secure. I have to go to advanced settings and tell it to go anyway to get to the site now. Just wanted to alert you because the warnings seem really alarming, and I'm hoping it's an easy fix. I attached screenshots of the warnings in both browsers. Also of note, my computer is like 12 years old now and I cannot upgrade it past MacOS Sierra, so maybe it's a "me" problem?

    Thanks for letting me know. I’ll talk with the Sam to see what could be causing this. I can assure you the site is very secure as that is very important to me and this upgrade did offer additional layers of security. I do also understand that those type of warning messages can be unsettling. Let me check on it.

    By chance have you checked to see if safari and chrome are updated? You should be able to do some updates on those even if MacOS you can’t. And have you tried clearing the cache/cookies?
