TBH, I've never seen such a button, that's why I asked MikeW if it was in his browser.
I've only ever used the sequence which I mentioned above :cpu:

Mike (airspeed), I'm a little confused why your asking about 'button's and 'Quick Links'. What MikeW was asking about was why the 'Latest Forum Activity' section of the Forum Homepage was empty. Previously this would auto-populate with a number of the most recent posts in the area I have outlined in red on the screenshot.

Hi Kevin,
Actually, I'm not asking, but saying.
I guess we all have our ways of visiting CBFS.
My bookmark takes me to Forum. To see what's current, I click Quick links, then Active topics.
I rarely go to Home page, so I wasn't familiar with that 'Latest Forum Activity' box which you highlighted.

How are you able to post then? The security certificate is valid and we’re using the latest cyphers. Is your browser up to date?

Ah well :worried:

The error is from Firefox on XP.

I can post in Firefox on W10;

That's not a bad way round it Mike. I must admit I use MikeW's method a few pages back. If there's nowt new of any interest to me, I move on to the next forum I frequent, but I'll use your method for now.

Hi George, XP doesn’t support the current security cyphers, so there’s no way to get it to work I’m afraid. In a few years, windows 7 will go the same way. It’s because the old cyphers where compromised years ago, so they’ve been deprecated, and because there’s no way to update the older OS, as websites get updated, they’ll no longer be accessible.
