I can't access my favorite website. It's a motorcycle forum and i keep getting a message that says Safari can't open the page "blah, blah, blah" because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server "bayarearidersforum.com
Earlier Mac models
In this particular case those people may be right. That version of Safari will not load that site, and if you are not already starting to see other sites complain it is certain to happen with increasing frequency.
Quick fix: use another browser. https://bayarearidersforum.com/forums/ loads just fine using Brave for example.
To download Brave, start here https://brave.com and click the Download Brave button. I confirm Brave will work on your Mac's Safari version, and that site will load just fine.
Better, long term fix is to upgrade macOS for that Mac Pro, but you will first need to install a Metal-compatible graphics card. For faster and better instructions than I can provide, consider posting a brand new question in the Mac Pro Community. But for now, use Brave instead of Safari for that site, and others that may begin to complain.
Good luck with your mc.

... I think I'll just have to access BARF using Chrome.
I gave you a couple alternatives; it's up to you whether you want to follow them or not.
They probably did.
Which version of Safari does open BARF?
Probably any later version.
Brave is Chrome without the Goolag.
I'm running a mid 2012 Mac Pro with 128GB of RAM. The operating system is High Sierra 10.13.6 and Safari is version 13.1.2.
I'm 71 years old and somewhat handicapped with a stroke so I could use all the advice I can get. But I am fairly savvy with both Mac and PC computers.
I believe it's a setting somewhere in Safari that needs to be changed. Some people on the BARF forum (Bay Area Riders Forum accessed through Chrome) say my computer is too old. I don't believe it. This simply started happening one day.
Also, I have no problems with any other website I visit. Everything works perfectly except for this website.
I need my motorcycle fix. Please help me!
Well, someone must have made a change to the BARF site recently as I've made no changes to my computer. I have Google Chrome which has no problems accessing BARF.

And thank you for responding.
And yes, I have a Metal compatible video card installed. It's an Nvidia GeForce GTX 880 2048 MB card.
As I'm getting older now and may simply die before too long, I think I'll just have to access BARF using Chrome.
And **** manufacturers that make changes forcing people to spend more money and make their lives difficult.
What is Goolag?
