Are any of the previous posters using a PC with Win10?


I just got the Win10 Creators Edition update several days ago, and it's creating havoc with the IE11 browser security settings!

Somethings been screwed up with the Forum since sometime last evening. I couldn't even get on last night, I kept getting all kinds of error messages and redirected. The funny part was that I was doing a Google search on a autocross Corvette and it's owner, and was able to access the Forum from links I found on Google, but couldn't get on directly from Corvetteforum.com?

Yes and yes.

Windows 10 is, "....the computer virus you pay for and install yourself". I'm a degreed Computer Scientist and it took me the better part of a day to lock it down, harden it and get it running right on my three home systems...

It happens on Windows 10 using Firefox and also on my Iphone, which uses Safari. The Iphone uses IOS, rather than Windows 10.
