Currently members can browse SCN via both a http and https protocol.
Once logged in, the protocol is always set to https, and due to requirements, users of IE 8 on Windows XP are not able to log-in.
Please note that by the end of this month, stricter security settings will apply.
As a result, IE 8 on Windows XP users will not be able to access SCN via the https protocol (at all).
For those members who would like to continue working on Windows XP, we advise that alternative browsers will be used.
