I'm getting this on both of my computers, is there any issues

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead​


Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to budbuilders.org. 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.


What can you do about it?


The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.
 
I’m on a old (2016) ipad, shut down the site and reloaded the budbuilders site without issue.
I haven’t yet tried photos, but no warning or errors upon login.
Browsing seems okay too
 
Thanks to Pipe for bringing this to our attention.
If anyone has issues, please just let us know.
 
yes, Thanks Pipecarver!!

on the norm i brows with an off beat browser named maxthon and i have a bunch of the security turned off so i didn't even realize the door was locked!!!

you too Zen, thanks for the shout!!!!

.

this was the first time we had to bring in help for the site, Moe was always the guy to turn in trouble tickets and such so we ddn't really know the process. but we now have someone in our corner that knows more about this than Steam and I do so going forward will be better and hopefully i can catch these things before they happen.

also the enhanced search started working again. we are running on the same older version of the software on out platform and may or may not upgrade it soon. Steam and I need to go over the risks and see if it's even worth it. most of the changes made to the newest version don't really apply to our site and we really get no benefit from it. plus there is a chance we would have to purchase newer versions of addons as well. specifically the enhanced search i finally got working again!! along with a new SQL and shoutbox.. just not sure if it's even worth the risk or money. we always measure at least twice before we cut so no rush!!!!

over the weekend i was peeking and poking in things i never even looked at before, i knew it was there from when Moe handed it off but never needed to use it. we have had a weird email bounce error for years now and Moe could never get it to go away, he suggested to me that we change email providers going forward because he said they were the only thorn in the site and would probably continue to cause errors. well after digging and reading and learning and figured out the problem with it and fixed it!!!!

until today we would get hundreds of bounced email errors on our webmail daily.. today we had zero!!!!!!

BTW, Everybody, that email address is one that only Steamroller and myself can see.... if you guys ever need to reach us you can email us there ( administrator@budbuilders.org )

Thank you everybody for what you make this site to be!!!!!!!!! i promise i'll do better to keep the lights on!!!!!
