I can't get on to the rootschat.com/ website. The website address I usually use keeps failing. http://www.rootschat.com/

Can any one give me the correct info please?
Regards...Teresa

No, I get the "Secure Connection Failed" message, too.

It has a Facebook page - seems to have a lot of downtime, per messages there;

https://www.facebook.com/rootschat/


EDIT:

Aha! I clicked on the link at the bottom of the Secure Connection Failed message - says something about "enable TLS1 " - something like that (can't remember) - and it worked!

Now when I click on the link you gave (or any other link) , the website opens immediately.

And now that I can see the website, it seems, from messages on there, that it's a Firefox problem, and yes, you do have to enable TLS - whatever that is.

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Is it something to do with Firefox?

Yes, I've just added that to my last post.
