    I had to “use website” that was deemed unsafe then it let me in with no issues. May be a while till everyone else figures out how to get back in

    You still have to put in a safety exception for this site. New cert still not active, at least for Firefox.

    My fone throws all sorts of fits, but the 10 year old iPad loads it up right, no questions.

    No this site is not safe, it causes all sorts of issues. Purchases of saws & equipment that no sane person needs. Excessive sweating & work. Neighbors that stare at woodpiles on your property, weird people that sit around in shorts & tee shirts in January when others are bundled up in their homes. Myriad other issues that I can't even think of right now, but it's never broken my computer or stolen my bank info.

    I am sure the cert issue will be fixed shortly. I had an issue with a site that was using Let's Encrypt free certs; they expire in three months and you usually have the cert bot to renew automatically. However, I couldn't get it to renew through the Let's Encrypt cert bot. I did find a site that offers free certs that you can manually installed; I think it was zeroSSL. From what I understand, Let's Encrypt can't be manually installed. Yearly certs have come way down in price from the $400.00 a year days. I may just buy a cert; around $12 to $15, one domain with www, so that isn't bad at all to install and not have to worry for a year. If Let's Encrypt did six months, it wouldn't be so bad but every three months and if it doesn't renew you get what members are facing here; warnings that scare away your members. Google forced everyone to encrypt everything when really only parts of a website needs to be encrypted, not everything.

    We've been working with the host, doing a complete software upgrade but they are taking their good old time.

    In a nutshell, yes we are safe, being encrypted by a 3rd party SSL (per what the server tech explained to me) but we need to make some major updates and migrate to a more modern server.

    Growing pains suck.

    We are working very hard on the issue, you have our most sincere apologies everyone. Bear with us....
