Questionable security certificate

[Phil B.]

I received this message twice tonight when entering this forum. This is new to me, and I am investigating things on my end.

There is a problem with this website's security certificate. The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept data you send to the server.
We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this Web site.

I'll let Shaggy know Phil, I've never seen that message before.

yeah, I haven't seen it before last night. I ran scans and didn't find anything today. *shrug* maybe it was a glitch...

Hey Phil ... that happened to me one time but for another site and someone told me to check the date that the computer was set to. Somehow the date was reset to a year that preceded the date of the website's security certificate. Once I reset to the current year, I had no problems. Not sure if that's what's happening with your or not but worth taking a good at maybe.

I got blocked out 1/2 dozen times with some sort of thing at the bottom of the screen saying something about certificates or something.

I'd log in, and get the 'thanks for logging in' screen, but then it'd go back, and I wouldn't be logged in.


For whatever reason, it let me in this time.

Security Certificates is a Browser & Windows issue. The certificate identifies our server.

You can see this type warning in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. (Each warning looks different though)

Make sure the date & time is correct on your computer. this is usually the cause!!!!

If that doesn't solve the error warning, then your computer isn't recognizing our certificate or our certificate has indeed expired. (I will let shaggy know)

There is a work around for this....PM me if you want the info.




BTW, if there truly was an issue with our certificate, everyone would get an error

No, things are working ok here now...I just thought I should let y'all know, as I have never had this warning for this site before.
