Anyone else notice that AnandTech forums lost HTTPS status yesterday?

Hello,

Has anyone else noticed that yesterday afternoon the forums lost their secure connection for a bit?

They seem fine now, though.

I did not notice that. Are you sure you're not just seeing the warning that appears when HTTP images appear in a thread? E.g. the first page of https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/ssl-error-no-cypher-overlap.2483377/

I noticed it. I could access the main forum page but any attempt to go to a specific forum got me "Your connection is not private. Attackers might be trying to steal your information from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (I don't remember the IP address.) and the https part of the address in the location bar was x'd out.

Just got it again. Couldn't access the site at all. Appears to have gone away now.

Here's the same problem from that same akamai.net server ( 2 and 1/2 years ago)

Yes but I forgot to report it.

Why would a server lose it's certification temporarily that way?

Or, is the problem somewhere else?

 

[chrstrbrts]

Any thoughts, guys?

Guess not....

Please refer to this thread where this issue, as well as a related one, has been discussed at length. It is a problem we are already addressing.

I don't know how the "addressing" is going, but I just got the exact same thing I posted in post #4 again.

Again, please refer to the other thread I linked. I've asked for various pieces of information from users who are experiencing this. It is not an issue affecting everybody and we are unable to reproduce it on our end, so it's taking a while.
