I got the same thing this morning and chalked itnup to it being just me. Thanks for posting. Hopefully we can get some clarification.

It's the site, it's a security issue where the website starts http:// instead of https:// and a lot of programs will block access and give you those error messages.
Looks like it's been fixed now.

It wasn't just you...it actually started late last night, & I got a message saying my computer had the wrong time (but it didn't), wanting me to fix (what
wasn't wrong) & that the connection was not secure. Maybe an issue with the security certificate but now appears fixed...I emailed Melinda (bcr229) &
she got a hold of Deb...& later this morning we're BACK!

Hooray! & thank you forum admins! :D

I got that last night and this morning. I was curious too...

It was just the ssl certificate that had expired the day before, nothing serious, when Melinda contacted me I was actually in the middle of contacting Emily to make her aware of the issue.

Just a little inconvenience but everything is back in order.

I've seen a similar thing on another forum whose security certificate never got fixed that died a slow & painful death, with some checking back but no one
feeling safe about posting, & new would-be members scared off by a huge red warning page. Very sad & not something I want to see happen here, that's
for sure, so I was concerned. We are fortunate that our "forum angels" were on top of this. :gj:

Thanks, Deb!

Thank you to Emily and Melinda and all the mods and admin for all your hard work that makes this forum all that it is. You guys don't get enough praise for your work. Thank you all!!

oh ok good. glad we haven't been compromised and that the forum hasn't been taken over by those users w/ the pink and yellow handles/names. thank you all Mods and Admins.

Sorry about that everyone. The security message that everyone got looked big and scary but it really wasn't a big deal. Tech support is doing some major server upgrades behind the scenes right now and so I overlooked the message about the SSL certificate expiration thinking it was something else that they were doing. That's my bad. :)
