SSL certificate?

[Richard B]

The SSL certificate for typeaccord.co.uk expired 13/08/2024, so most (decent) browsers don't let you visit without adding an exemption.

Is this being renewed? It's not terribly expensive.

Is that why it says "Not secure" in front of the url when I visit the site?

Yes. It is not a critical problem for site functionality, as this is site does not host financial transactions. But it moves encryption security for e.g. setting up a new account to "Trust me Bro" rather than guaranteed by a verifiable authority. The standard for hosting any login site is verified SSL. Firefox immediately put up a warning page that it cannot guarantee the site hasn't been hijacked, and average internet users would pretty much ***ume the site had been hacked or something, with a warning like that.

It's not happening yet, but with an expired certificate, search engines will gradually de-rank Typeaccord from results, so people looking for answers will less and less find this site.

Yes it’s been sorted today, sorry for the delay for those that have been unable to access the forum this last week.
