The security certificate date isn't valid (but it is!!)

    Howdy,
    Is anyone else getting a dialog alert each time they visit boards. Its to do with the link to paypal at the end of the page I think.
    The secure cert says

    "This certificate cannot be verified up to a trusted certification authority."

    It also says .. The security certificate date isn't valid

    But, the plot thickens .. if you look at the cert, the dates look grand!!

    Anyone else getting this?? Me has an odd feelin that there is something funky with my browser.

    Appreciate any advice on how to get rid of it.

    Check your machine for spyware. There are literally hundreds of threads on the Windows forum about spyware.

    Most simple thing - is your system time correct? Are you in the right day/year?

    Hi there,

    Yeah .. I'm a techy .. checked all that. ran and checked for spyware already.
    I'm on win 98 so I think its time to upgrade. But it is just "my machine" thing though? Nobody else is getting it??

    I Know what it is ..

    It is in relation to the "paypal" donate image at the bottom of the page.

    That image is located on a paypal secure server. The certificate is flawed.

    https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but04.gif

    You should change the HTML to access that image ordinarily. You don't need to go through a secure server for it.

    http://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but04.gif

    Reason for the error is that all of the boards images are in an insecure server and its just this one image from paypal that is on secure server.

    Regards,

    B
