When I try to donate, the page tells me I have an insecure page , no certificate.
Weird things afoot. Seen two weirds.
FWIW, I mail my donation in every quarter. Don’t much like to put purchases on the computer unless it’s necessary.
Me too. Or I did. Try a different browser. I used Chrome and couldn’t donate. Used Internet explorer and no problem
Happened to me last quarter so I used PayPal. This quarter no problem.
Swap browsers. Chrome and Firefox seem to be the problems.
The donation process is secure.
The problem is that Google, and now possibly Firefox, are “deprecating” their support for industry standard SHA-1 certificates:
https://security.googleblog.com/2016/11/sha-1-certificates-in-chrome.html
John will eventually install a new SHA-2 certificate after he works out a couple other pressing issues, meanwhile, our SHA-1 certificate is current and is still valid (despite Google’s warning message) and our secure server continues to encrypt our transactions as before.
You can click “Advanced” at the bottom of the warning message and override Google’s erroneous “Not secure” message.
Or you can try a browser like Edge (default browser delivered with windows 10) and it works fine without the warning message.
Thank you very much.
Trying to use Chrome is giving me fits too. Is there some algorithm that has been planted for just such a hijack?
see my post just above yours. Thanks.
Send me the cash and I’ll make sure it gets properly handled:)
Here’s a thread from yesterday that will give you all the info you need.

*VANITY* I was hacked and I’m no longer secure on FR *VANITY*
Firefox gave me no issues, but chrome did.
