    Default Security

    Today I couldn't get on to the LHC with my regular computer because it says the site isn't secure and the security rating has expired, and that people could sneak onboard and steal your passwords and information.
    I'm using a very old iPad to write this because it barely functions on the Interwebnet and it can be persuaded to be a bit of a daredevil.
    Please can you update the 'Secure Site' thingy. And while you have the computer's hood up and you are under there please can you make it upload our photos again, like in the old days.

    I noticed this as well and was coming here to post about it but I guess I don't need to.

    On the bright side...this security certificate problem has gotten rid of all those hundreds of Lurking Bots we were wondering about. I guess Webcrawling Searchbots are security conscious. Who knew?

    I got that, too, but since my browser is ornery, I had just blamed my computer, especially since I started getting it from a second site I frequent... Glad to know it's not just me.
    Putting it in my signature because I have to say it so often:
    Do what works for your hair, not what other people say is "right" or "wrong." If it works for you, it's not wrong. If it doesn't work for you, it's not right.

    My regular computer is all like "Danger", "Unsafe Site!", and it even has a stop sign and the address highlighted to show it doesn't have an 's' on the end to prove it!!
    I guess at least we know that our computer's security is working well, eh?

    Yes, if LHC were a commerce site, one would not ignore the warning.
