[Resolved] Security error when trying to read / post / upload
Suddenly getting a security error on every Librivox page. Seems to be a certificate problem, and the issue is cascading to every page I open in the forum - can't upload, my magic window won't display... I don't think it's me...

I love to read, AND my employer matches my volunteer hours with a donation to the Internet Archive, flagged to benefit Librivox.org. How cool is that?

I'm getting the same thing. Keeps saying "Insecure connection", and then half the time, if it does load, the layout is all wonky! At least I know now it's not just me.
EDIT:
This is the exact message:

Yes, it seems the security certificate has expired again. No signs of real trouble though, it just needs to be renewed once in a while, and I understand it's a clumsy process. I've accepted the 'exception' and could continue.
I believe the persons who can fix this are somewhere in the USA time zones, so we'll have to wait until they wake up

I have been getting this message on my computer:

I received the same error when logging in. I was also unable to upload a file. I received an error message.
Thanks!

Thanks for flagging it -- we've reported, and hopefully it'll be fixed relatively soon.
There's honestly no such thing as a stupid question -- but I'm afraid I can't rule out giving a stupid answer : : To Posterity and Beyond!
I just popped in here to report the expired security certificate. I see others are already on the ball. I also clicked "make exception" and everything loads now. I will have to do it on all my devices, though.

Should all be fixed now ... but, if you're still having browser alert problems, please post here so we can sort it out.

Thanks, Cori! Everything is working great today.
