Many places today did away with the certification method and use their own site security methods, although that does not produce the locked icon in your browser bar, it does not mean the site is unsafe.

Assurance from the owners here that the site is still safe would be a good thing ....
 
its weird that since this has happened, i have not seen any mods posting. so i wonder what is going on. its been like this for almost 3 days now.

i am also using firefox on my work computer now as well. and yes it screamed about no security certificate for this site.

I'm finally back, albeit I had to reset my password and this site's security certificate is expired, so it's not running with the "https" in the site address. So I'm hoping they can fix this issue!
Anyways, I'm glad to be back!
Mods, fix this site!!!

what browser are you using?
 
Chrome on android 11, fully updated. Also using adguard for ad blocking but I've tried it on and off with no difference.
Ugh....
 
Started maybe July 2nd or 3rd. All of a sudden.
I even cleared the cache in Chrome just to see if that changed anything but it had no effect.
My conclusion is the site needs an updated security certificate...
 
I admin a site where the certs were allowed to expire and they put in a replacement protection module. Let me see if I can get more info on that if it can be used here.

I have rented server space of my own and have a renewable certificate for it that is easily forgotten about until the host sends me a reminder every year that it is due.

When certs expire the site goes offline like this one did, the http -https in the address is the difference. I see in my address bar the padlock has a question mark on it yet the address begins with the https.
