Post by: LiteBulb88 on July 18, 2019, 02:37:06 AM: I'm getting the same error. And this probably belongs in the technical support forum instead of this one. (Yes, I clicked on "report to moderator" to alert them to this.)

it's safe?!

Post by: TPIRfan#9821 on July 23, 2019, 02:16:59 AM: Yes, it is safe. Unless my computer got a virus yesterday and I'm unaware of it, it is fine.

Post by: Thatgameshowguy on July 23, 2019, 08:11:45 PM: Just tested it on the Opera browser, it's saying the Security Certificate expired 9 days ago (July 14) so that would be the problem there.

That said, we're not really sure why this is happening...as far as I know, neither Marc nor Chelsea is sure how to fix it.

Post by: Chelsea on August 01, 2019, 01:55:06 AM: Actually, the problem's pretty straightforward - security certificate has expired and it's not something that's taken care of by the webhost automatically - which is doubly a problem since the web as a whole is gradually moving towards pushing https and secure/certified websites.

Was going to get our certificate restored through the site backend for two years but hit a paywall with the webhost I do not have the credentials to move past.

Post by: Chelsea on August 01, 2019, 03:06:17 AM: Problem has been dealt with for the time being, site's security certificate is valid through October 31st while longer term renewal is explored.

Post by: Chelsea on September 10, 2019, 12:18:18 AM: If you're using the https version of the link, you're going to have the problem for a while.

If you use the http version of the link, you won't.
