    I had strange issues with Chrome too but Firefox worked fine. I think Google might be overly aggressive sometimes in trying to phase out SSL ciphers which are discouraged but not yet obsoleted.

    I believe this is the problem.

    This site requires a DHE-based SSL cipher suite. These are deprecated and will be removed in M52, around July 2016. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5752033759985664 for more details.

    I had exactly the same problem with Google but it worked fine when I switched to Firefox (I'm also on Windows 7).

    I appreciate the replies guys. I never liked Firefox much but I suppose it won't hurt to install it for limited use. I did last try it during the Dark Ages.

    We currently need to go through some infrastructure upgrades to take care of this. We are working on getting this happening, but it will probably take a few days to get taken care of.

    @ALIEN It may be fixed now. I'm able to access it in chrome/opera.

    Yep, now it looks good.
