DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Fan Feedback Forum Log on difficulties...

refs...last week, between june 23 (24, 25, 26) and june 27, I was unable to log on to DawgTalk. I assumed that the board was having issues and was down.

 
Now that I'm back on the board, I've tried to find out  what the reason was for my inability to  log on last week, as it appears that the board was not down and that was not the reason for my problem logging on.
 
I would appreciate knowing the reason I was unable log on last week, from 6/23 to 6/27...thank you, mac

I had the same problem. But, not now.

The board was down the 24th-26th. As far as the other two days, I see nothing that would have caused you to not be able to log in.

As far as I'm aware, the server was unavailable until roughly 11:00am Eastern Daylight Time on the 27th. If you had difficulties past that, it was nothing to do with the site.

Couldn’t log on all day yesterday.

This is what I’m seeing in Safari but I can come to the site in Firefox by clicking go to the site anyways.

I just received a similar message on Firefox this morning.

The SSL certificate expired last night at 8:00PM.

Thanks for the explanation.

me too

It's still doing it this morning.

Purp, your SSL expired two days ago according to my chrome browser giving me the old unsafe warning with an option to proceed.

This isn’t a logon issue, just a browser warning and it trying to keep me safe.

The SSL certificate expired October 26th. You need to go to Sectigo and renew it to browsers stop telling users it's a security risk. A lot a corporate controlled PCs will not allow browsers to connect to websites that have expired SSL certs as they can pose a security risk.

I've been a System Admin/Lead for 25 years

Yes, the SSL cert expired. I am aware and I apologize for not having corrected it, yet. I'm not going to bore anyone with details, but life has been .... busy, lately, and unless I find the energy to do this at midnight, I just haven't had the time.

I sincerely intended to try to get to it today, but the Day Job is doing its best to &*^*& that up for me.

Here's the Good News: There is nothing wrong with the site and it continues, and will continue, to function normally like this unless you are, like DaveyD, on a corporate laptop where you have Nazi admins, lol
I *promise*, that I will be getting to this as soon as I can (the cert is already paid for, I literally just have to renew it and get it in place), but I have what feels like 15 deadlines for 47 different things all hitting me right now, so I am piecemealing myself on these smaller tasks and I haven't even sat at my home PC for days.

We *used* to block forums like this until I had my way.

Hehehe... I hear ya


Cert is fixed.

Thanks man.

No doubt it was a "Dawgtalkers Global Issue". I was going nuts.
