I KNOW!

I switched to https in June. The security certificate was supposed to auto-renew every 90 days, but it seems to have not happened. It’s making a few things behave oddly. Don’t worry, I’m on it.

Joe emailed the mods saying he is dealing with it right now. The security thing didn’t update automatically like it was supposed to.

Looks like it’s fixed now. Fingers crossed. Wake me up in 90 days…

I refreshed the page and I got this

http://www.beatlesbible.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate expired
Error code: SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE

I use Firefox I added this site to exceptions. Your https is out of date.  

Oh, that’s why I got a weird security thing when I went to the site this morning.

Mobile networks are connecting again. At least, mine are.

Thanks very much, @Joe.

Your problem fixing is always appreciated.

Not sure if any problems already reported but the site hasn’t been appearing via Chrome on my pc today at all.  I’ve just had the standard “unable to handle this request” message.  I’ve just accessed via mobile and via Opera is just about working but very slowly.

I am on in Chrome right now. You might try clearing your cache to see if that helps. If not, I’ll let Joe take over on this one. ahdn_george_01

Just after I posted that I managed to connect on Chrome but the strange thing is I wasn’t able to connect all day till now. Was it just me?

ty admins for moving my post…i was here to mention some weird things, but my computer is dogging and i didn’t think it had brought me here…

anyway, i hadn’t logged in for awhile and was a bit taken aback by the new format – i like the “homemade” feel of the old format. However, I quickly noticed that the newline & center html commands in my sig started working, so that’s very cool 🙂

@Joe sorry to be a nerd, but Chrome isn’t entirely happy with the SSL because you seem to still be serving smileys and a couple of images from http sources, the images are from your test host and the smileys through i0.wp.com, just so you know.

I'm like Necko only I'm a bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin and also everyone. Or is everyone me? Now I'm a confused bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin everyone who is definitely not @Joe.  This has been true for 2016 & 2017 Sig-Badge.png but I may have to get more specific in the future.

I don’t think you have to say you are sorry for that. I’m sure Joe likes nerdy geek speak. He wouldn’t be running a website if he didn’t care for it.

Yesterday , I tried logging into the forum on mobile, and each time the blue bar at the top finished loading (as it does when you’re logging in), it still only showed “Welcome Guest” and I wasn’t able to log in. a-hard-days-night-paul-10

When it shows logged out, try going into the subforum and see if you are logged in.

It’s more that he probably is well aware of it, and I’m carrying coals to Newcastle. Do people still say that old phrase? Anyway, Chrome inspect is extremely handy for this kind of thing now, helps a lot with my own site.

No need to apologise – this is helpful. Could you please give me examples of the images served from the test site?

Most images should be from i0.wp.com – it’s the WordPress CDN. I’d have thought they were served through https though.

Ah, actually, I’m having trouble connecting to WP at the moment, so that might be the cause of that one. If you can help me out with the test server images that’d be great.

Just a heads-up that the forum might go offline for a bit over the next hour or so. Some functionality elsewhere on the site may be broken too. I’ve got some connectivity issues with my server, probably related to the mobile fault yesterday, and my hosts need to run some tests to get to the bottom of it. This involves disabling certain elements of the site.

Sure the urls Chrome is seeing are:

and

The WP smiley I’m getting is

Thanks @ewe2. The test stuff was a dumb mistake on my part. I’ll see if I can get the smiley issue fixed too.
