Safari on Mac kicked back an expired certificate error for the Board.  

It's also happy for me on Chrome (both Windows 11 laptop and Android phone...) It's my understanding that this is usually a simple thing the admins have to do periodically. Is it still coming up?

On my computer Chrome says the certificate is valid ?

Maybe I have to update chrome, it’s been awhile since I did, it did say the certificate expired 7 days ago

Maybe... I'm guessing the certificate expired then and the admin fixed it, but a few people caught it when it was expired. Maybe try closing and reopening Chrome?

so Google Chrome is up to date, still says expired cert, comes up as not secure but I just ignored the warning and hit the bookmark anyway. Its letting me be for now but it does have unsecure in the address at the top of the page...Just an FYI for you...

Not gone! I split it off into another thread (and discovered I can move a whole batch of posts at once - YIPPEE!!!) I'll tag you in the other thread.

Sorry, I missed this with all of the notification discussion. I'm not sure what to say; it still shows that the certificate is valid on my computer and phone, both in Chrome.

Google how to remove expired certificates stored in Chrome.

Was hoping to find some way to contact a site administrator because whatbird is the best ID site! But the site is returning an expired certificate, even when I allow it through all the images on the site are broken.
Guess it's not just me?

You can send a message to the administrator - his username is Administrator (and can be found on the "staff" tab on the menu at the top of the page). But I'll let him know some people are getting expired certificates. I'm confused because it seems like for most of us the certificate appears as valid.

Update: Administrator is working on it.

Sorry about the issues with the site; I was not able to log on but I did report to admin. It seems like the posts from today in this thread are gone; any other issues remaining? 

Woohoo!  What a relief!  I'll let you know if I find a problem.  Thanks!

The site seems to be working with a few glitches.

There's no stars or dots to the left of the topics to click on when you want to go the first unread post or to see which threads you're active in.

There's no Next Unread Topic  button at the bottom of the pages anymore.

I can no longer access the last post in any thread. I used to be able to click on the time of the last post(5 minutes ago, etc.), and it would take me to the last post, this doesn't happen anymore. If I click on the time of the last post it takes me to the very first post.

Those are the first things I noticed without really looking too deep.

Logging in seems to have solved those issues. Never mind, again.

Thanks everyone. The site was offline for me for a while too; that's when I alerted admin that there was an issue. Then it came back online but I was logged out, and it wouldn't let me log back in. The site was up again, but everything was set back to February, 2021! There were several comments made to this thread about the issues, but I didn't answer because I couldn't log in. I didn't post since I would have appeared as a guest. When it was eventually fixed and I was able to log back in, it looked like everything was normal again, except the comments people had left in this thread were gone. I hope that's all we lost!

But yes, it does seem like it logged everyone out, so if you don't see your usual features, as @lonestrangercommented, it's probably because you're signed in as a guest, so a lot of the post managemant features don't apply. Go to the upper right-hand corner to log back in.

I am having trouble navigating the site from my cell phone. Once I logged in on my phone, I could see all the current content but I can't access my notifications or reply to posts, with the odd exception. Everything appears to be working fine on my laptop, but even after dumping my history and rebooting my phone and browser, my phone still has issues.
