Let Tamara know. Use the link below and give the details.

The problems likely stem from your own computer, they will let you know how to handle the situation best.

Been getting the same thing here. I have gotten it in the past and simply ignored it and it finally went away. Don't know much about computers so that's how I deal with it. LOL!! I live on the edge I guess. :O)

I've seen that once in the last couple of days, but no redirecting.

I clicked on a members My Page to see what climate they were posting from, got the yellow warning box across the top.

Trudi, it's not her own computer system I got the security warning message both times signing in today, including now but never before. Unlike Newbie I have not yet been re-directed to another site I just click the "not recommended" message and it gets me here.

I haven't gotten it at all, but then again I'm always logged in unless I accidentally delete my cookies when I run Ccleaner.
I got one from hotmail yesterday when I first logged in tho:D

Thanks for link, Trudi.

Sent them message about their Security Certificate Authorization being expired according to Internet Explorer and personal security program. Assume someone at GW with computer/server savvy or responsibility will know what to do.

In the mean time, like Tiffy said, we're all "living on the edge" just to get to the WS forum!

I don't get the warning at all. But I do think that it's a cookie issue and temporary files might be involved.

T--who has no wintersown cookies and never will.

Trudi, I'm obsessive about cleaning out all cookies and temporary files EVERY time I put computer to sleep or shut off. That's multiple times a day. I know just enough (or so little depending on how you look at it) about computers to be vigilant to the point of annoyance.

Those nasty malware things wouldn't dare infect your WS experience.

May all your cookies be the tummy delicious kind!

I clean out cookie history every day too, but I chose to keep my sign in stuff alone for the sites I am a member of...and there's A LOT. I visit all these places numerous times a day and no way could I keep up with all my sign in info. I also run ad-aware after C-cleaner.

My apple told me that their security certificate to encrypt data during transmission expired on 12/22/07 @ 5:59 pm.
It was issued to Auth@gardenweb. Organization- General Electric Company. Org Unit- NBC.
Issued by Trusted Secure Cert. Authority.
Sounds to me like they paid for a service for a while- and their paid subscription is over for that service.
I think our computer/cookies are used to seeing that info, and are telling us about the change in service.
I am not sure what it means here at GW- but I think that is what is going on. I do hope that our personal information we registered with is still secure...

A friend of mine who's a programmer told me to get an Apple instead of a Dell...as if I'm apt to learn something new on these darn things! At least your Apple gave you the back track information on certificate.

IE only said it was "Trusted Secure Certification Authority" and without knowing much about servers and such it sounded like some gag generic name even when I googled it!

Until I googled that issuing org. I never knew these certs. were a dime a dozen in many cases unlike the heavy weights such as Verisign and others.

Thanks for the specifics, Julie.

Basically what probably happened is someone in GW 'tech dept' dropped the ball and did not renew or get a new security certificate. I am sure that within a few days it will be taken care of. Perhaps the person/persons who are in charge of this is on vacation. I get the message also but do not get redirected.

And the reason some people are getting it and others is not is because of the difference in internet security settings on your computer. If you have it set to low, you won't get as many of these warnings. If you have it set to high, you'll get all kinds of them. I think I'm set on medium, and I do get the certificate warnings, but not a lot of other kinds. I HAVE been getting the ones here.
