OBOD Forum access denied by Firefox

Post by malcolmb »

I am sure you are aware of this but my Firefox browser refused to let me access this Forum. Took me a while to bypass Firefox. Apparently the Forum's SSL (ie. security) certificate expired today. Just thought I would mention it. :???:

I'm also getting "502 Bad Gateway" when I try to access the main OBOD website. Perhaps a related issue?

- when i tick the box and tap on "Proceed", i have access to the threads and i can read them.
- when i open a reply, "preview message" works. "submit" triggers the same screen as above, but after ticking the box and tapping on "Proceed" nothing happens.

- when i tap on file upload, i get an error message

Likewise. I suppose it's a bit odd telling people we can't access the forum by posting on the forum! :shrug:

As you have probably deduced, our security certificate has been updated. Our technical folks tell me this one's good until 2024. Sorry about yesterday--it was as big a surprise to me as to everyone else.
