Hi all. When I go to log on I'm getting a warning telling me that the connection to the site is not secure. I'm also informed that auto fill has been turned off. When I do log on I have another warning page load asking me if I'm sure I want to send username/password.
Is this just me? I'm using Win 10/64 bit/ Edge browser.

Nathan.

No, it's everyone. it's because the site doesn't use https.

Thanks Sea.Dog.

We do have a cert. Not sure why it isn't redirecting.. Looking into it.

Hi, Brass_Machine I checked the cert and all looked fine. Strangely as I logged on this time there were no warnings showing and autofill was also working! Perhaps I'd better change password?

Firefox opens the previous session for me, never had a warning of any kind!

If you access the site as http:// instead of https:// some browsers may give the security warning if Eric hasn't set it up to automatically convert your browser access to https://. Sounds like he's working on it.

Well, hopefully what I did works!

This has reappeared...My pc is reporting cert issues ..

Country Bubba · « **Reply #9 on:** February 03, 2026, 06:49:01 AM »

Likewise happened here also.

AdeV · « **Reply #10 on:** February 03, 2026, 07:27:47 AM »

Same - the cert has expired & needs renewing, that should be enough to get it going again...

One for Eric...

awemawson · « **Reply #11 on:** February 03, 2026, 12:09:14 PM »

Oh good, it's not only me then !

vtsteam · « **Reply #12 on:** February 03, 2026, 10:12:59 PM »

Yup, same here.

John Rudd · « **Reply #13 on:** February 05, 2026, 12:19:39 PM »

Looks like the issue is resolved?.now the header reads https?

awemawson · « **Reply #14 on:** February 05, 2026, 04:33:57 PM »

Nope - I'm still having to accept liabilty before proceeding to the site having accepted dire warnings

rleete · « **Reply #15 on:** February 05, 2026, 07:25:24 PM »

Same here.

John Rudd · « **Reply #16 on:** February 06, 2026, 05:03:44 AM »

Spurry · « **Reply #18 on:** February 06, 2026, 11:04:21 AM »

Something has altered slightly. One click and the site opened, but with just a small red warning "Not secure".

John Rudd · « **Reply #19 on:** February 06, 2026, 11:57:15 AM »

Must be a windows thing, I?m replying via an iPad, no issue, the header includes https?.So I don?t know what?s going on?,

rleete · « **Reply #20 on:** February 06, 2026, 05:26:55 PM »

Appears to be fixed, at least for me.

Thank you!

pycoed · « **Reply #21 on:** February 07, 2026, 04:38:20 AM »

It ain't a Windows<spit> thing since it's happening on Linux with Brave too, today no different - warning still there.

ddmckee54 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 08, 2026, 04:31:51 PM »

I'm still getting the warning, even after adding www.madmodder.net to the trusted site list.

awemawson · « **Reply #23 on:** February 09, 2026, 03:08:56 AM »

I?m getting the issue under Win 7 and Win 10 but not on my iPad running iOS

ddmckee54 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 10, 2026, 12:01:54 AM »

I'm running WIN 8.2 on one machine and WIN 11 on another, get it on both machines.

timby · « **Reply #25 on:** February 10, 2026, 06:13:18 AM »

It is not happening here , Linux Ubuntu / Firefox browser.

BillTodd · « **Reply #26 on:** February 10, 2026, 01:10:36 PM »

Apparently the security certificate has run out and not been renewed.

awemawson · « **Reply #27 on:** February 10, 2026, 04:07:40 PM »

Do we need to do a whip round to fund Eric?

tom osselton · « **Reply #28 on:** February 14, 2026, 03:23:52 PM »

3rd days the charm!

Hmm, Eric's not been online for over a month...

I've sent him an e-mail... hopefully he's OK.

Brass_Machine · « **Reply #30 on:** February 15, 2026, 12:02:54 PM »

Got Ade's email. Sorry... been a long few months.

Fixed the cert issue.

awemawson · « **Reply #31 on:** February 15, 2026, 02:27:24 PM »

Thanks Eric

kayzed1 · « **Reply #32 on:** February 15, 2026, 04:17:48 PM »

Works fine for me today, Win <spit> 11 on this one.

pycoed · « **Reply #33 on:** May 25, 2026, 03:49:53 AM »

Is anyone else getting the Security warning issues again? Last few days it's popping up again for me (Ubuntu22/Brave 1.90.124)

ozzie46 · « **Reply #34 on:** May 25, 2026, 06:54:20 AM »

yes i am getting it also.

mcostello · « **Reply #35 on:** May 25, 2026, 03:08:49 PM »

Just about every web board I frequent is having relog in warnings about security. Something is going on.

tom osselton · « **Reply #36 on:** May 25, 2026, 06:08:30 PM »

This is what I got for the last few days

Just means Eric needs to renew the site's security certificate since it has apparently expired. It does not mean the site has been compromised, despite the browser Chicken Little warning.

Brass_Machine · « **Reply #38 on:** May 29, 2026, 04:17:16 PM »

Fixed.

Sorry about that.
