As if the new Forum "experience" isn't offputting enough, I get this now every time I go to the Civil 3D Forum. This doesn't happen on other Autodesk Forums, like AutoCAD, Map 3D, ReCap, Raster Design, etc. Just Civil 3D. If I hit the refresh button half a dozen times I can finally see the site, but I'm not going to click anything on that page.

Perhaps clear history or cookies?

Hi Matt,
Just started seeing this a few days ago. First time in 15 years of perusing the Autodesk Forums. It only happens on the Civil 3D Forum. If I go first to the Map 3D Forum, then the C3D Forum opens right up.
I don't see this on any other website, so gut feeling tells me Autodesk tweaked something in their new Forum Format.

Hi Rick,
"...clear history or cookies?"
Haven't done it lately, but I do this from time to time. Then I gotta dig out my 5-page spreadsheet of usernames and passwords. Shoot. Me. Now.

Autodesk is constantly working on the forums because they broke it so bad. Most likely it's just something they're working on. And since they won't use a test environment we all get to be their lab rats.
The Ideas forum is just broken.
Hi @Cadguru42,
Didn't see that when I checked just now, but I rarely visit the Ideas Forum.

Looks like they fixed some of it. Still has the huge amount of wasted space, though.
Can't even see the first Idea without scrolling.
@Cadguru42,
Yes, you have to scroll down to see the 1st idea. But to be fair with Autodesk, I see that a lot on websites, particulary blogs.
Yesterday I didn't get the "secure" popup. Not once. Today I got it on every Autodesk Forum except ReCap.
I'm just not ready to, as Rick suggested, clear my cookie jar. Might come to that.

Hi Rick,
Ugh! I cleared and emptied everything in my Chrome Browser, over 350MB!, and I'm not seeing that "doesn't support a secure connection" window anymore. Only took a half hour to re-log into my sites that require a username and password. Surprised myself, I could even remember most of them. 🤔
Thanks.

@Pointdump Dave, I haven't seen that. Is your Chrome up to date?

Hi Allen,
"...Chrome up to date?"
Yup, whether or not I want it to. I don't know how to turn off automatic updates on Chrome.
After dumping cookies and history, my laptop's fan isn't racing anymore. I guess I need to do that more often.
