UKC

The site will not open in IE 11 (version 11.0.34). I get the following notice.

This page can’t be displayed


Turn on TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 in Advanced settings and try connecting to https://www.ukclimbing.com again. If this error persists, it is possible that this site uses an unsupported protocol or cipher suite such as RC4 (link for the details), which is not considered secure. Please contact your site administrator.

All good in Google Chrome...

Works on my work laptop(ie11 11.0.96) and thats very locked down and through an intolerant proxy.

In reply to Mark Kemball:

I have the same problem.

In reply to Mark Kemball:

Looks OK here. IE 11.0.42

There's something dodgy going on if your browser doesn't have TLS turned on. How are you connecting to the internet too?

In reply to Mark Kemball:

I've had a similar issue all day although I was getting messages that proxy wasn't responding - only on UKC all other sites were fine... and as you can see UKC is fine on my home laptop (firefox)

In reply to Mark Kemball:
I've had the same problem on my work computer all day (don't know what browser, but all other sites ok). It's fine on my wife's iPhone this evening.

In reply to kingholmesy:

Ditto

In reply to Mark Kemball:

Had this problem at work too. Actually got some work done today!

In reply to malky_c:

Does https://www.ukhillwalking.com work for you?

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:


No, it doesn't

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:

Same problem yesterday. Using Safari at home, so hard to replicate just now.

In reply to Mark Kemball:

Yep, I have the same problem but only from work. Nothing has changed on the work network though.

In reply to malky_c:

Strangely I can't get onto UKC using safari on the ipad, I get a 'unable to establish a secure connection to the server' message.

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:

Stopped working on windows phone too (running W8).

In reply to malky_c:


me too

In reply to Ridge:

This will be due to Safari being an old version. Update to the latest iOS if you can.

In reply to Mark Kemball:

Working for me... cheers

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:


My expensive Mac desktop is only 8 years old. It won't run the latest system.

Even cars last longer than that.

In reply to Mark Kemball:

Working now, thanks.

In reply to digby:

Agree. I cant upgrade any further, unless I do a full install of the latest OSX and my mac is only a few years old.

Now working on the mac. Many sites are becoming problematic though.

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:
All seems OK again now. Cheers

In reply to digby:

You could always install Chrome and use an up to date browser.

In reply to Bellie:

As above, use Chrome

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:


Thought that might be the case. The last iOS update mangled an app Mrs Ridge used a lot, so I try and avoid any iOS, Android or windows update unless absolutely necessary.

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:

Not possible. It wont support 10.8.

In reply to Bellie:

You don't need the latest MacOS to install the latest Chrome: https://www.google.com/chrome/

In reply to Ridge:


That mentality didn't help the NHS very much recently

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:

Minimum requirement is OSX 10.9.

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:

I have TLS1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 set on and it still does not work in IE11. I'm now using Firefox to access UKC.

In reply to Bellie:

So it is, sorry my bad. I'm quite shocked that it won't run on MacOS more than 4 years old tbh. It runs on Windows 7 and that was released in 2009.

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:


The only thing I hate more than the sh**ey new Mac OSs and their Safaris (which I can run on my laptop), is Chrome.

It's infuriating that the Google homepage search box leaps upwards just as I start typing. My contempt for whoever at Google thought that was a good feature is all consuming.

In any case "This computer will no longer receive Google Chrome updates because Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 are no longer supported."

In reply to digby:


I would guess that they're trying to teach you to use the address bar to search instead of navigating to Google.com and searching there. The later being slower the client end and is 2 network requests instead of 1.

In reply to Mark Kemball:
I've been having the same problem intermittently over the last three days including this morning and I've got TLS 1.0, 1.1 & 1.2 all ticked

Also having the same problem on my Samsung phone running Android

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:


That indeed is the reason. It's still moronic. And I LIKE to have the google page as the home page. And I PREFER to have a search box discrete from the address bar, and in the MIDDLE where I can see it and get to it easily. I hate any interaction that causes an unwanted shift of focus. It's poor design.

It's as misplaced a didactic notion as Safari changing the menu bar shortcut for 'bookmark this page' to 'add to reader'. And not providing a new alternative button for bookmarking.

Spare me the overpaid sunsoaked thinkings of silicon valley supergeeks.

In reply to Steve Woollard:

Should be sorted now, including the Android phone.

In reply to Paul Phillips - UKC and UKH:

It works again! I've not been able to get to ukc on my phone for a couple of days.
