I noticed today that my SSL had reverted to http in the admin panel today and that my forum url was showing the red padlock instead of the green.

I notice Skouliki's forum also has the red padlock today too, I've posted on her forum to notify her.

Is there some issue with this SSL thingy again?

My SSL is up for renewal soon and I'm seriously wondering if there's any point as this isn't the first time I've had problems with it.

Forumotion still hasn't got the SSL certificate so I assume you must think your forum is secure enough without it.

I just noticed my forums was in the same boat.  I just changed it back.

I've got the same problem on my test forum but it won't even let me log in.

Logging in is a different issue.

I get this:






And it won't let me enter my name and password. So I can't get in to change the SSL certificate back to https.

SSL certificate runs out in 37 days on my forum, yet I get the error, 'Your connection to this site is insecure.'

Will this be addressed?

You should be able to type in the information even with that message.

Go in the AP and switch it back to https.

It won't let me. Nothing happens.

Please post the link to the forum.

I get the following:

You can not change the forum URL because you have an active SSL certificate.

You do not want to change the address.  You want go here:  AP > Misc. > Credits Management > Spend Credits > SSL Certificate
Switch back to https.

I was able to finally log in via Topic'It so I've changed it back to https now.

Also my log in has now reappeared.



What a pain in the wotsit this SSL is.

I suppose I'll have the same problem in a few weeks time when it expires because I don't intend to renew the SSL as I only bought it to test it anyway before buying it for my main forum. That one expires around the same time.

i checked your forum and mine everything seems ok ( mozilla and chrome) i can see the green padlock and the secure https address

Many thanks. Sorted.

Hello just to let you know we have had some server problems over the weekend and this maybe the reason you had this problem.

The problems have now been reported as fixed so this should not be a problem now if you reset it in your ACP.
If you still have problems we can make note of it and send a report but please try and turn it back on again first.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

APE.
