A curious problem I'm having on DU

I use a Mac laptop running Safari as a browser.

Since the recent maintenance by the DU Administrators, when I click on a link, about 10% of the time I get an error message that says Safari can't open the page. When I hit the back button then re-click the link the page loads.

This problem does not occur on any other websites nor on my iPhone.

Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks, in advance.

I sent an email to the Administrators a couple of days ago but haven't heard anything yet.

Have to go to the original source and sometimes it is hard to find them on a twitter feed.

In the meantime, it might help to make sure you have the most recent version of safari.

"Safari Can't Open The Page" Every time, not just 10% of the time. Could it be the same thing?

Thanks

edited: "Because Safari can't establish a secure connection".. and this happens to pretty much every web site. I think it must be something else. Thanks anyway
