Something went wrong during the update process and we’re trying to work it out now with their tech support dept. Hopefully, this will be very soon, meanwhile we may get security warnings on our site.
Hang in there.

Thankyou.
This is the URL I copied:
https://www.freerepublic.com/perl/logoff
I could not copy the ‘notice’.
Better to use the secure encrypted connection 'https', not 'http', and accept the certificate within your browser to continue to use the expired certificate.
