New SS Windows 10 App?

Hi Captain11,

This is part of the website changes I alluded to yesterday. Our homepage has been upgraded to a brand new platform that allows it to be more responsive, flexible, and mobile-friendly. Part of that involved turning the site into a Progressive Web App (PWA).

Different browsers will respond to PWAs in different ways. For example, Microsoft Edge can put the website inside a container, so it behaves more like a discrete app. So as you discovered, it can be launched from your desktop and lives in its own window. But it's really just the same website that you can visit on any browser.

Sadly, the current Forum is not included in this new platform, which is what's causing the strange hiccups. But we're working on it!

@Johnny M, thank you for the reply and I am happy to report it is now behaving exactly like the traditional website, requiring authentiation but then showing me successfully logged into the forums.  I like the overall structure and if a new CRC is incorporated into the same GUI it will be a very nice user experience. Hats off to the dev team for the progress so far.
