SSL Cert is expired

[Jeff05]

As per shillingfan, Firefox can get me in. Still having problems with Chrome, even with "Advance[d]" access using android phone and Windows laptop. I'm in now; I'm happy.

Worse - the Cardinals are at it again!

Wouldn't it be nice to have our scouting evals hacked by the Cards. Just knowing the Cards wanted our scouting would make my Christmas -- the extra second rounders would be apricot glaze on the fruitcake.

I can get on via Chrome on my mobile devices (android phone and tablet) but not on the desktop. IE gets me in on the desktop.

Avoiding chrome seems the best workaround for me.

BTW, if there is any way to help (i.e. $$) to help keep the site running let us know. We appreciate all the effort over the years from Chris and the moderators.

Thanks for fixing this. There was a sense of relief when I was able to log in again. Really appreciate this site

Ditto, I couldn't get on and missed being able to read and write.

I'm getting a SSL Certificate is expired message when my bot tries to connect for the game day thread. Is this an issue with my bot or with the software running the site?

Off the top, I don’t know, k. I’ll try to look into it - but I just got back from a 24-hour grind that included six hours of driving, and a night sleeping (or trying to) on a couch in an unheated cottage (it dropped to about 40 F outside), and I’m dead beat…so I don’t know how effective I might be this evening!

OK, first test. I'm having no trouble making a secure connection to the board with my browser, which in the past has always been the issue that tells us the cert is expired (and causes me to petition Chris). Moreover, when I dig into Chrome, it tells me that the philliesphans.com certificate is valid (expires 11/29/21, so it's something we'll need to deal with soon, but not now).

Two possibilities (guesses):

1) I'm not very knowledgeable about how the API key I generated for you (kikutaro) works; could that be expired?

2) (and please don't take offense - I doubt this is the cause, but I have to ask!) is the "current date" on the machine the bot is running on actually "current" - e.g., does the bot's host machine somehow think that 11/29/21 has arrived? E.g., does it think it's November, instead of September?

Which minor league affiliate do you play for?

LOL!

Our summer place is in Sullivan County, at about 2,000 feet elevation. Not winterized (no solid foundation, built on piers). We have a gas fireplace insert (don't ask - my siblings prefer that to an honest wood fire, for God knows what reason), which stopped working over Labor Day. We scheduled a service call for yesterday, and I drove up Wednesday evening (3 hours) to "be there" for a morning appointment. The tech showed up at 2:55 pm. It's fixed; but I had a cold night, and a 3-hour drive drive home late yesterday afternoon. All good now, though!

[And yeah, the cottage is about 45 minutes from Bowman Field (Williamsport); the minor league contraction eliminated my summer ritual pilgrimage to see the kids play. Grr.]
