While posting a reply in the Paint and Body forum, I got the below expired certificate warning when clicking on the "Use Full Editor" button to add some pictures to the reply.

As if Paul doesn't have enough to keep him busy these days - argh! Paul - I did take a screenshot of the certificate and can email that (or post it wherever) if you need it.

Others will probably see this soon.

I see Paul has already posted a Global message.

Thanks as always! Glad to hear future certificate updates will become automatic in the future. thumbs_up

I got the same message and I still have to go to the Advance and enter at own risk. I can't do out-going @stovebolt email.

Ok. It's 8:15 Central time. And I can get into the site directly. And actually rather quickly. So ... what happened and will it last?

And the email is working again. yahoo

This morning it appears the security certificate issue is resolved. No restrictions or warnings when signing in or maneuvering about the site.

Initial public main forum page loaded quickly, signing in was also quick and only seeing minor ( a few seconds delay) when navigating through everything.

Thanks once again Paul for all that you do! shake

Jerry, describe precisely what you mean by locked out. Screenshots would help.

My antivirus program (Bitdefender) would not let me access the Stovebolt.com site this morning. It gave me a big "Warning" sign.

I can't give you a screenshot, because this evening it is letting me access the site with no problem.

I assume that the issue was corrected and now Bitdefender is happy.

I appreciate the efforts that are required to keep the site up and accessible!

NIck, that was likely due to the expired certificate, which was replaced automatically last night. Going forward, it will always be replaced before it's expired, so this should not reoccur.

I was able to get on the site tonight for the first time since last Thursday. And that night it was horrendously slow! But tonight everything was back to normal.

Thanks, Paul, for all you do!
