    This is what happens when a site admin is not active for a long time... The https certificate for this site has expired! Check out the Login page. I'm not sure anything could even be done now unless Simon comes back to life! Please, Ximon, give jacob1 server access!

    It seems fine to me. The certificate was generated today and is valid til may. Maybe a bug in the automated renewal scripts caused it to leave a small period without a valid certificate. Or maybe Simon didn't automate it and renewed it manually after seeing this ...

     Phew! That was spoopy!

    Maybe you just quickly grabbed wireshark, got Ximon's password (because he just happened to log in at the time), and renewed the certificate...

     Login page. The login page uses https. And that is not what I meant. It was a certificate error ('broken https'), which would show a red line crossing out the 'https:' part of the URL and saying 'Not Secure'.

    Example:

    Well you're not on an https page, only the login, register, and password reset pages are https. Everything else forces http sadly.
