Not shure if this is the right place to ask but is BMS out of buisness?

What makes you say such a question? We had an order delivered only a couple of days ago.
Cant reach the website anymore.
Well we can. Just browsing the web site right now. I even asked them earlier about your statement and they laughed at me down phone as they are incredibly busy.
Crome browser says the page is down but turns out i can open the website with Safari but in Firefox i get this message: Your connection is not secure
The website tried to negotiate an inadequate level of security.
printerowners.co.uk uses security technology that is outdated and vulnerable to attack. An attacker could easily reveal information which you thought to be safe. The website administrator will need to fix the server first before you can visit the site.
Error code: NS_ERROR_NET_INADEQUATE_SECURITY
Could be that my old computer is the fault.
I had the same question that I raised with BMS via facebook, seems that their website certificates (or something like that) aren't set up now for anyone running XP/Chrome.
I'm a dinosaur and running both desktop and laptop on XP/Chrome, so its a bit of a shame really as I used to get my Sawgrass inks from them and various other items such as mugs, slates, bears, steins etc.
They suggested a workaround by changing my chrome settings - this would delete certain info or leave it vulnerable to others - I was going to give this a try but warnings came up detailing what might happen - so I wasn't prepared to do this, so, unfortunately, I'll have to take my business elsewhere.
Strange that they would laugh at this as I have raised this problem with them and they know that XP/chrome users are effected - I was going to post the same thing on the forum but ended up contacting them via facebook.

Hi John, I think the amusement comment was in response to a question about us being still in business, hence a laugh and a reply that we're extremely busy :)I had the same question that I raised with BMS via facebook, seems that their website certificates (or something like that) aren't set up now for anyone running XP/Chrome.

As regards our website, we've recently moved servers and had new SSL certificates installed so the website is secure for us and for customers (and Google prefers secure websites for ranking etc). It means that old XP systems which have vulnerabilities which Microsoft no longer support running old versions of browsers (which again can be exploited) won't be able to display our website. The choice we have is to enable this for everyone and then leave our website insecure for everyone or have some customers running old systems unable to connect by their PC - unfortunately we've had to go with the latter. If you use your mobile then the website will work fine, or even use the old fashion telephony system :))

Seems our Dinosaur computers are the fault. Have solved the problem with using Safari. Need to buy from them some Sawgrass ink and stuff.
Thanks for your replies, i'll have a look at safari and if stuck, i'll use the old fashioned telephone lol.
I have the same problem with accessing the BMS website. My antique Mac won't run the latest Firefox version so I have to use Safari. However, even this can be difficult so I'm afraid I tend to buy from other suppliers for the time being unless I can only get an item from BMS. This is a shame as I find them to be one of the best suppliers for price/quality/range. I guess I'll just have to treat myself to a new Mac soon!
