It’s been working fine for me. I’ve found the site an echo chamber and some members are hostile towards newbies, so I don’t post there anymore, though. I much prefer this site but that’s neither here nor there sorry for the rant.

Smokey, I've been a member there for many years and never found it to be hostile towards anyone. I knew nothing about building when I joined there and got polite and valuable help over and over. It's probably the best building site in the world.
Ditto Longcruise. I'm with you on that.

I cannot access the ALR using Safari on my iMac. But I can using Firefox. The message I was getting had to do with the Apple's Safari version. To access, I would have to have at least OS 10.10.9. My iMac is 10 years old, and my OS is 10.10.5, but I can upgrade to 10.10.13, so I'm planning to upgrade, and that may solve my problem.
If you're having trouble logging on ALR and have an Apple computer, check your OS version to see if its up to date. You can tell I'm not a computer whiz, and my 10 year old grandson cannot make a "house call".

It's one of those .ORG instead of .com if that makes a difference.

Hi,
I am also a moderator on ALR. The problem is certain older browser and operating systems. If you use Internet Explorer 11 running under Windows 7 or 8, you will have trouble. You may still be able to connect using Firefox or Google Chrome, if they download properly in your old operating system. Mac Safari 6, 7, and 8 will also have trouble. These kinds of issues are going to pop up from time to time as the software developers stop supporting old systems because they lack up to date security patches.

They may be practicing social distancing, you know, making everyone stay 6 bandwidths apart.....

This place is fun though....
(BTW, I'm pretty sure everyone enjoyed having you there. I've been pounding with my youtube channel to get folks to the forums to learn and they are getting quite a few new members. )
Give her another crack Smoke. It's a different sort of place is all. If you go to a longrifle show and meet some of those guys you'd realize they are the elders in the hobby is all. Some are crochity but fine gents, some are super helpful and will spend hours passing knowledge for no gain but yours. But because they're the elders, a bit of 'hat in hand' goes a long way. Most of them are from a different time, and when they go, it's gone...(an 85 year old feller remembers hunting black powder with his pawpaw.....Maybe it's just I'm a Southern boy, but I see it as 'they've earned it' and they are the greatest fount of factual knowledge that exists on longrifles.
