Well, here's to new a beginning at the old board!

I recently scored a few more vidya games, movies, and other stuff to throw at the heap of junk in the garage. I can't wait to read the new posts.

When I visited Shmups Forum through HTTPS using Firefox, I got the following error message:

Quote:

Your connection is not secure

The owner of shmups.system11.org has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.

shmups.system11.org uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.
The certificate is not valid for the name shmups.system11.org.
The certificate expired on April 8, 2015 at 12:56 PM. The current time is June 15, 2017 at 10:45 AM.

Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER

When I visited Shmups Forum login page through cleartext HTTP using Firefox and tabbed to the password field, the following appeared below the password field:

secure. Logins entered

Each "Learn More" linked to an article in Mozilla's knowledge base about the respective error message.

What prevents the Shmups Forum server administrator from acquiring a certificate without charge from Let's Encrypt?

https isn't supported for forum logins, you're actually hitting the wrong virtualhost, the 'default' port 443 one.

That Firefox update is a PITA.

And Google Chrome 62, set to be released in October, will show "Not Secure" in the address bar for all forms on a cleartext HTTP page or with a cleartext HTTP action. (Source)

So is there an ETA for adding an HTTPS VirtualHost?

Is that better?

Since today, the option "log me in automatically" doesn't seem to work anymore, at least in Firefox. I need to log in manually every time I visit the forum. It still worked yesterday.

I had to change one of the cookie settings, try deleting any cookies you have for the forum and see if that helps.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. Well, nevermind.

Is anyone else seeing this problem? I've tried everything with IE/Chrome/Firefox at my end and it all works as expected.

You have asked Pale Moon to connect securely to shmups.system11.org, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.

Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?

If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

shmups.system11.org uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

This is what I get since a couple o' weeks. Thought it was temporary.
