If this forum site is accessed using current versions of Chrome and Edge browers then CSS styling is absent and so pages are displayed oddly

Left hand side below is Firefox and right hand side is Chrome

This seems to be because Chrome tries to force http requests to the secure https protocol. This appears to work for support.genopro.com but unfortunately the link for its CSS styling has been hardcoded to use http, resulting in the problem seen.

The Chrome developers Console show several 'Mixed Content' erros such as

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://support.genopro.com/Recent.aspx' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure stylesheet 'http://support.genopro.com/skins/classic/styles/forum.css?20101130'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

I believe the solution is for GenoPro to remove all protocol prefixes http:/ from the html source so that render correctly with either http or https protocols e.g.

<link href="http://support.genopro.com/skins/classic/styles/forum.css?20101130" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

becomes

<link href="/support.genopro.com/skins/classic/styles/forum.css?20101130" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

GenoPro just simply sucks really badly

This is because this forum does not support https.

Replace https by http and it will work.

I agree it sucks. We purchased this forum more than 20 years ago and it needs to replaced. We plan to completely replace this forum in 2024.
