I just wondered if anyone else got a warning message after typing in the web address, saying "this website is not secure, it may be someone impersonating the site...Go Back." So I didn't dare click on it, but I really missed y'all!

I saw it. The warning basically said this site was unsafe,and impersonators may be trying to gain access to my personal info..passwords,bank accounts,credit cards,etc..via this site.

I didn't go forward. I chose the "back to safety" option.

Yep, received the same not safe warning.

Glad the site is back up.

I drilled down and found that the site has an expired certificate. I don’t think it’s a security risk but an administrative issue. My webpage requires annual renewal of the certificate.

BW: 64 WH: 64 Both 57 on Dday, M 37 years, 2 grown kids. WH had 9 year A with MOW, 7 month false R, multiple DDays from 2017 - 2022, with five years of trickle truth and lies. I got rid of her with one email. Reconciling, or trying to.

No. Not hacked.
Sites like this use certificates to increase security. These certificates have a defined lifespan, and need to be renewed – preferably before they expire. Well… we didn’t… and the site was inaccessible for some time until that had been fixed.

Bigger, is having security certificates a newer thing for web sites?

When I say newer I mean within thr last 15-20 years?

I did some web design in school and don't recall anything like that back then in school.

I experienced this as well. Tried a few times during the day from my cell phone. Tried again later using PC at home it went through.

Whatever was wrong got corrected within a day.
