Your Connection is Not Private error message
Anyone else getting this message? Says the certificate is expired.

I can get here on my computer, but I can't seem to bypass the error on my tablet.

@Giraffe, ya got some fixing to do!

Here's what I got:

This server could not prove that it is www.giraffeboards.com; its security certificate expired in the last day. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection. Your computer's clock is currently set to Tuesday, August 27, 2024. Does that look right? If not, you should correct your system's clock and then refresh this page.

If you click on the thread: “ Which substances most closely resembles SEMEN?”

….it will take you to the mod/admin forum. Hurry before the glitch gets patched up!

Me too. I finally clicked on "advanced" (firefox/mac) and then on -- I forget the wording, but basically on 'connect anyway against the browser's advice'.

Once you accept the "risk" it won't prompt you for the next few pages you load. But it's a pretty short window, only a few minutes.

My work computer seems to have accepted the corruption, but my phone still freaks out every time I try to change pages or post something.

@Giraffe feed the damn hampsters already!

My two cats are the only virgins in this house. Should I sacrifice the white one or the black one?

Giraffe still hasn't turned up.

We might have to take care of this ourselves. Anyone got a spare three hundred and fifty dollars in the cookie jar?

Cats aren't vegans. They're obligate carnivores.

Hey all! Sorry, just saw this. I got an email from our hosts a week ago about the certificate renewal, I foolishly assumed it meant they would actually renew it. Just opened a ticket, it’ll hopefully be fixed soon.

I'm sure others have had their doubts over the past few days, but I was confident that we were still certifiable. Thanks, Giraffe!
