Garden Pond Administrations Attention Please!

[Big Lou]

IMPORTANT, YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
A number of us are receiving Certificate Errors when we attempt to access Garden Pond Forum. Is something wrong and should we temporarily stay off GPF?

this has been posted a lot.

I think it's okay to post stuff but don't put up any pictures of your fish for now because their identity might be stolen!

I got that warning just now, too. It's disconcerting. It went against every instinct to continue on to this site.

Thanks for the heads up - the SSL certificate didn't automatically renew for some reason (the thing we use for HTTPS), so I've manually renewed it while I speak to the hosting company .

Sorry about this folks! It looks worse than it is. Your data has always been secure here, it's just that the certificate confirming that this was the case had expired. So apologies again if you had a fright, we are taking steps to make sure the certificate renews automatically as it was meant to.

I'm closing this topic now so that we just have one place for discussions on this.
