View post function not working on emails from a particular forum

i've suspected that this issue was outside of my system and outlook. I've reported it to the forums tech support and no one else is having the issue.

The behavior is not caused by Outlook for Mac. The “View post” button in the email opens a link that goes to the forum provider’s site (circle.so). The browser error and timeout shown in the screenshot indicate that the external site is either:

• Not responding (server or network issue on their side), or
• Misconfigured for HTTPS so the browser marks the connection as not secure and fails to load it.

Because the same failure occurs in multiple browsers (Chrome, Safari) and on multiple devices, Outlook has already done its part by handing the link off to the browser. The problem must be addressed by the forum or circle.so:

1. Contact the forum’s support or administrator and provide the failing URL and screenshots.
2. Ask them to check their circle.so configuration, SSL/TLS certificate, and server availability.
3. Until they fix it, access the forum by navigating directly to the community’s website in a browser and locating the post manually instead of using the “View post” button in the email.

There are no Outlook-specific settings or fixes in the provided documentation that change how these external “View post” links open.
