Mudcat security certificate issue.- fixed?

Subject: Mudcat security issue.
From: Steve Shaw

Today, every time I try to click on a Mudcat thread I'm getting a message that this connection is not private, that someone may be spoofing the Mudcat website in order to get my personal details and that the Mudcat licence has expired. It won't let me copy and paste the message. Is this just me? Is it a genuine warning? I'm Apple only...

Accessing mudcat on a phone using android.

Since this afternoon i havebeen getting a warning message stating the certificate has expired for the site. Have not had that happen before.

Here4's what Max says -
    We have a new SSL certificate but I'm away from home for another day. Can't install it remotely. Should sort it out tomorrow afternoon.

Until then, you can click through and get to Mudcat as normal.

Cheers, Joe. As you'd expect, this hasn't stopped me from wading in with my usual panache....

... just in time for Mudcat's 25th birthday ...
but at least we can still get in,
as you say, if we just click through.

Posted too soon. The warning popped up again.

Hopefully it will be sorted tomorrow.

I'm getting the message, but if Max and Joe say not to worry, I trust them.

There's really no point in holding the Cat for ransom.

In solidarity with Mudcat, Facebook, Instagram, and What'sApp have all crashed today. :-)

Does it seem like Mudcat is working normally for everyone now?

Yeah, apart from this thread being opened and closed, then opened again... ;-)

Second that, Mudcat is working well
but, as Stilly pointed out,
there are crashes all over the Internet at the moment.
I cannot for the life of me
sign on to my hotmail account, for example.

I think it's clear the issue is resolved and we can NOW close this thread.
