Trouble access forums this morning

[palayman]

Chrome wouldn't let me in. Getting this error from Chrome:

forum.universal-devices.com normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Google Chrome tried to connect to forum.universal-devices.com this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be forum.universal-devices.com, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Google Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.

You cannot visit forum.universal-devices.com right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.

Ideas? Had to use MIcrosoft edge to get in after it warned me as well.

Looks like their certificate has expired. They have to update it

I got the same expired certificate warning from FireFox. Expiration date was early this morning.

I did a temporary exemption for the site. Until a new certificate is issued.

Interesting; my Firefox gave me this:

What can you do about it?

forum.universal-devices.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

Had to move to a different browser.

Probably a later Firefox. That will not run on my old computer.

I tried FireFox and Edge also while that was happening. It was UDI's certificate expiring (just like both browsers stated) and it has been replaced now.

Well I am still getting an Unsecured site message about an Invalid certificate.

Might be a cache issue, the certificate is valid again.  Try shift-reload or whatever method forces reload page from server.
