When one loads "https://cb1100forum.com" the browser looks for the various screen images using the https protocol and can't find them meaning they don't display. As I recall this forum has not been set up for the https protocol so it is not surprising.
See this page: https://www.toptip.ca/2023/03/how-to-sto...-from.html to learn how to fix the problem.
I have followed the instructions there and so far, so good.
To each his/her/their/its own, Au₂O₃. I have used Chrome extensively in the Apple Mac OS and found it generally reliable and fast. I find Safari works well in the Apple ecosystem. I don't find Chrome as satisfactory on iOS and avoid using it there.
Thank you and your son for your help but it did not work for me.
I asked my son for help and still no cure for this issue, and after reinstalling/updating the most resent Google Chrome my other Mac got screwed up
For the time being, I am using Firefox browser for one laptop.
Will take it to work to see what our IT professionals can do with it....or will stay with Ff from now on...
Thanks.

Update: I've thought about what I actually did to get Chrome working again. Initially I went to the Chrome system page (chrome://net-internals/#hsts) and entered "cb1100forum.com" in the "Delete domain security policies" box. It resolved the problem, but not for long. For no reason I can recall I then tried entering "cb1100forum.com/forum/" into the "Delete domain security policies" box. I've not had any problems since.

Is this the only operation you did, in Delete domain security policies box...any other boxes????...where it says (You cannot delete preloaded entries)?????
Did you restart your pc or went directly to the CB forum...cos did not work for me
EDIT
I fixed it, not so sure what I did, cos I did many things simultaneously , so my first Mac is fixed and now I fixed my other Mac = all 4 computers and iPhone work again.
Before my two Macs were not properly displaying CB1100 Forum
So far OK, will see if it works after turn off = it WORKS
Comanus inspired me to work harder =

Safari is not so good & safe for you cos so many wild, mad and big animals there , look below

Not only I fixed it, I also discovered what was the reason behind it, at least in my case...so it went the crooked way again and I fixed it again...now I have to fix the thing that is causing it.
Two problems are: I did not change any settings I think??, and I am not computer savvy
I will explain the fix in my case in few days.
I employed Firefox for back up on my two Macs at home.

Already semi retired, worked 40+ years in Canada, riding my two CBs and leading the forum miles pack (as per the Ferret)... how much harder should I work?
...ops, tomorrow, I will play harder my 6/49 >> $$,$$$,$$$
