FD, pay your bill you tight arse.

Why is it taking so long? Some members will likely just give up on OzPol if this continues much longer.

I wondered why my Internet security wouldn't let me in here.

Still being flagged as "not secure".

I can only get into PA from my old busted laptop.

I can't reply in feedback so I'm replying here.

My Mozilla Firefox browser and Edge browser allow me to ignore the problem and still use this website
however I have had an email from one member who is unable to use this site.
I'm not sure why.

It's the same for the polanimal sister site.

So - I don't know why other people can't also ignore the problem via clicking the
notices that pop up on their browsers and continuing?

Mozilla Firefox remembers my choice and doesn't show the fault message again.

I'm ok to use it from work but when I post on my phone from home the anti virus crap pops up every time i turn a page, which makes it unusable.

.... seems to be keeping some of the under-life away.....

I went from Firefox to Google Chrome and it let me sign in, but with a warning.  I've contacted freediver.

Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to www.ozpolitic.com. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

**jumps and looks over shoulder**  ...." the freediver people's liberation front!!!"

Hope it is fixed soon!

My update.

I tried to use my Samsung mobile phone without success to connect to this website
and the sister polanimal website.

It tells me that my time is wrong and ahead by one hour.
I changed the time on my mobile to one hour less but it
still refused to connect.

Don't hold yer breath.  I would have sent FD at least 5 PMs about this issue at PA about a month ago.  He read them all, zero reply and zero evidence of any effort.

He's blaming Hostgator - it's outside his control.

FD,

Update: the person I chatted with at hostgator did not have permission to fix the problem. They pushed it up the chain and the admin will get back to me via email. I am not optimistic as I am still waiting for them to get back to me on another issue I raised on December 10. However, PA had a similar issue with SSL certificates recently which seemed to resolve itself. I forget how long that took.

I used my CPanel software to arrange the SSL certificate and then advanced protection, why the hell can’t FD do this? He must have done it before? Set could advise him, no doubt.

Read FD's reply.
Hostgator obviously think it's their problem.

If you believe what FD posted.

Are you calling FD a liar?

D’uh, dihdumsy, think FD might be slanting the truth?

You reckon?

I wouldn't put up with this from a hosting company if it was on their end.

FD just needs to update his SSL certificate. Why does this take THREE days?

We have a message.

Re: Your connection is not private Reply #7 - Today at 8:35am  Hostgator have been a bit slack lately, and have not gotten back to me about this issue yet. I need to renew the hosting at the end of January, so will be shopping around.

So FD doesn’t want to renew the SSL cert with Hostgator so we have to put up with this crap till Feb????

Come on FD, you can do better!

Try HostPapa, FD.

Cheaper than Hostgator.

And for how log did we put up with the "crap" before you got your joint back on line late last year?

As long as it took me to realise my existing host and DNR service were not helping and not going to help and arranged the registration of the new domain and found a host for the board.

I did not just sit on my arse.

You would think this would be a huge issue for Host Gator with a lot of websites being run through cPanel. Not something they would have sat on as the support emails would have come in thick and fast.

Or is it an SSL certificate issue just for this site?

There must be a way to update the SSL certificate within cPanel.

Here are some directions: support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/360045647074-SSL-Certificate-Purchase-or-Renewal

Yep, out of date.

Just needs to be renewed? Or another option would be purchasing a 3rd party certificate from a recognized certificate authority like Sectigo etc.

It is actually as easy as purchasing, then copying and pasting the code into the relevant section of cPanel. Very simple. Actually a 1 minute job once you have the certificate.

It's fixed now - it works from my other browser and on my mobile.
