    I'm a Mastodon with this computer crap so I'm of no help. I only use my desktop and as I said I use Firefox and it allows me to bypass the warning.

    Same thing here. My tablet won't let me log onto the website at all. I get a popup here on the phone, but it let's me override security issues and log in.

    I contacted gugi and it's been fixed--all should be running smoothly.

    Sorry guys, the certificate expired at 16:25PM GMT (12:25PM ETD) today.

    It is my bad

    First, this is the 'better certificate' which covers multiple domains for us and I've set up additional restrictions and monitoring/notifications however, apparently, I screwed up a bit its automatic renewal.

    I did get notifications about the renewal of the previous certificate which we're not using anymore (and I decided to keep around until it expires rather than revoking it) so I thought that meant the one we used is working properly

    Secondly, when I realized it had expired I messed up again with my renew request(s). Because of all the extra features we have it took me a few tries to get the query right but by then I had exceeded my authentication limits with the certificate authority and had to wait, I think an hour, before it would let me do it.

    The good news is that this is over and the site is working again properly with strong encryption.
    There may be cacheing issues, so closing a browser session or if that doesn't work, clearing the cookies should fix it.

    Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.

    You're the computer god!
    Thanks for fixing so quickly and for all the efforts you put into this fine forum.
    You are allowed to make a mistake or two as far as I'm concerned as its so far beyond my ability, I would have never known what to do.
    It's just Sharpening, right?
