[Skins]

OK so its not supported - but have a handfull of servers that i'd like to get a fwd on ..

installed the latest version for 2000 5.0.18 - its talking to the IDX but seeing a few errors for the DS :

IS this because the old UF uses TLS 1.0 wheres as we are now on TLS 1.2

This looks similar to :
