Seems like everyone is having issues accessing embedded variety vista links in posts. Possibly due to site redirect. Is this something that can be fixed?

Same result whether:
1) Using insert hyperlink button:
https://www.varietyvista.com/index.htm
or
2) Directly copying and pasting link in post:
https://www.varietyvista.com/index.htm

Thoughts:

I copied and pasted it in a new tab, and it still doesn't work. It's a VV issue.

agree VV site is not secure. VV has no SSL cert and can only be accessed via port 80.

However when adding a link to VV in a post on this forum, server side redirect script changes http to https (good practice) but sending members to VV via port 443 which cannot be resolved by client browsers.

only thing I thought of was to whitelist the VV site in the redirect.

That's odd, the VV links always worked before. Did they drop https for some reason?

It looks like this is fixed. I've added an exception for VV, and the HTTP is left alone on the redirect.
