Got security warning message about LHC today

[lapis_lazuli]

Thanks so much LHC team, for fixing both the certificate and the albums!

Woo-hoo, glad it's fixed. I was still using it, but it was a lot less convenient with multiple interruptions every time

Though I don't use the albums on the site (except for a place to store the drawings I got made from Make Me A Jedi), it's nice that both the albums and the security certificate have been renewed (it only took about two and a half weeks. Usually when I get that message from a site, it's fixed the next day). I use imgur to upload any pictures to the site and hardly ever change my avatar (the only site I have a personal picture as an avatar is on Facebook, nowhere else).

Thank you for fixing the certificate and upload issues! I wonder...were they related?

Fortunately it was just a coincidence for this one! The certificate expired in September and needed manual renewal. For the upload issues the storage used by the forum was full and needed tidying to free up space.

For anyone curious about the storage, it was old log files that needed removal. They were using a bit more than 6x the total storage currently used by albums, so housekeeping freed up a lot of room. It's something not often looked at, but that's how it sneaks up on you.

Thank you sooo much for getting the security certificate fixed and for the albums! We appreciate all your hard work!

Calling people who are annoyed having every single page load/post go through two extra steps Ungrateful is a bit mean?
The issue is almost making the site unusable. It clearly shows alot are put off by it.
Activity seems to have been halved ever since it started

Agree with you.

Why would you see this as an attack. It wasn't. And the site isn't unusable, it's just another few steps. Wow.

I only had Firefox complain once, once I OK'd the go-ahead through the warning, I never got the warning again. So it's not like every page-load you have to jump through hoops, that's a little unrepresentative of the situation, IMO not to mention misinformation.

Not everyone uses all the same settings, nor does everyone browse in the same way. For some, it very well might have been every or nearly every page load. I only OK'd it as a temporary exception, which in my case meant that every time I restarted the browser, I had to do it again. It sounds like you made it a permanent exception. Which is fine, but doesn't mean it was the same for everyone else.

Yep. It really depended on device. My laptop required confirmation for every new page. Which made posting difficult. My tablet on the other hand threw the warning every few days.
