Spyderlovers IS NOT UNSAFE - the Security Certificate did Expire, but is now renewed!

[Albec]

Just now, when I attempted to enter this site, I received a warning message that the site is unsafe and not secure and that I should not proceed and if I do, I'm doing so at my own risk.

Normally the URL starts with https, which indicates a secure site. Right now, the https section of the URL is red and has a strike through line.

It appears the Security Certificate has expired.

I have sent a message in about this, and it shouldn't be too long before it's renewed. In the meantime, it's your call if you wish to continue using the Forum while it's like this, and any personal ID/unique identifiers/banking details/saved passwords etc are at slightly more risk than usual - not as much risk as if you posted them on the public pages for the World to see, but definitely at slightly more risk than usual. Your call.

Edit: It is in the process of being addressed, and a renewed Security Certificate will be applied 'soon'... :thumbup:

Until the certificate is renewed, they are going to make using this site difficult. I have to go through the disclaimer process every time I try to change pages.

Probably less risky than riding the freeway where I live.

Not sure how to reach the current powers that be, so I'm posting it this way. The site is coming up as a security risk because the security certificate has expired. Hopefully this will be seen by the right person, and the post deleted for me.

As always, thanks for keeping the site going!

 

[weeneil]

the same thing going on here too

 

[NorwegianRT]

I got the same warning, but I trusted the site and continued.
Hopefully it will be in order again soon!
Have a great weekend everyone.

The “powers that be” have already responded in post 4, saying the certificate is in the process of being renewed and will be applied soon, MRH.

It seems that there's more going on than just an expired security license, at least for me here.

After clicking past the warnings, it seems that many of the buttons on the site do not work properly. I'll click on Reply, and it does nothing. If I refresh the screen, it works.

Thanks, Albec! I received the same information and checked the certificate...I figured it would be renewed by today. No warning today.

It's pretty much an annual thing. All good

 

[ARtraveler]

The issue with the security certificate is now officially fixed.

I was totally locked out for the last 24 hours.

The site is now functioning as it should. :yes:

Yes, but my post was actually a new thread that was then moved here from a separate thread on the same issue - it would have been best deleted. I wasn't aware of this thread or I wouldn't have bothered with it.

Ahhhhhhh. It all becomes clear, MRH :thumbup:

Albec,

I also got the following message:

I could not even get on this site. I tried 2 or 3 times last night( 11/22/2024).


I am not having any problems logging on to this site as of 11/23/2024.

I got this and did not proceed.

This problem persisted for about a day, but as noted back in post #15, it has now been resolved (the November 2024 occurrence anyway! ) and the Forum Security Certificate has been renewed and applied, so you should be able to log in safely. :thumbup:

If it's still November 2024 and you are still having this problem &/or getting the message shown by a few posters in this thread, then you might need to log out of the Forum; clear your cookies/history; and maybe even re-start your device before logging back onto the Forum again. :thumbup:
