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.

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
