Hi Aaron,
I basically gave up on trying to figure out why I could no longer view certain pages of the site after your site upgrade. I could navigate to some pages - albeit not the homepage - and I just made do with that.
So, I've now taken the time to figure it out: when your client was upgraded, it changed the TLS (SSL) protocols so that people with browsers set to TLS 1.0 or 1.1 (as you probably know, the 's' in https refers to the TLS protocol) were blocked.
Since Microsoft defaults IE to the lower-level TLS and not to 1.2, you may be unaware of just how many people have clicked on their comedy.co.uk bookmark/favourite, got a 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage' error, and assumed the site was shut down forever. I doubt very many people went to the lengths I did to find a way back on. And it was the home page - the page most people bookmark - that I was never able to navigate to no matter what I did. Until I figured it out yesterday.
Hopefully your IT person can configure an error page with a notice to visitors what the problem is and how they can correct it (change their TLS setting to 1.2). I'm sure there are many, many people this has affected but you will not hear from them as they have no way of communicating with you.
Thanks for the site, Aaron; I visit every day - one way or another.
Dave
