i'm not worried if you can't get it working for my phone.

it's an old windows 7.8 version, with IE (no version) based on IE9.

i just wonder if anyone else got this message.

the site worked fine until a few months ago. i tried clearing cookies, etc.
there are no other browsers for windows phone. they are all just skins
using the same engine.



i can click through this, and the site works, but every single link, and post causes
the error message to come up.

I placed the whole site under HTTPS a few months ago, which is why it affects every page.

The reason why you're getting warnings is because your Windows Phone 7 doesn't include the CA that I used in its trusted root store. You can install the CA root certificate on your phone and that will fix the errors.

You might be able to install it by simply visiting this URL with your phone:

https://www.startssl.com/certs/ca.crt

When it prompts you for whether you want to install the certificate, go ahead and allow it.

However, that might not work. If it doesn't, then just download the above link on your computer. Change the name of the resulting file from ca.crt to ca.cer. Then, e-mail the ca.cer file to yourself. Open the e-mail attachment on your phone. When you do, it will prompt you to install the certificate.

Click-bait title... I came here expecting to see some screen caps or layout concepts of the redesign.

Boo, back-end deployment stuff, booooo! I want my money back, boooo!

side note:

Some of the original vBulletin developers have moved on from that forum software and are working on a new board/forum software for websites, under the name the XenForo Ltd.

It looks to be both user-friendly and modern, and be worth considering with the site redesign and updates: https://xenforo.com/.

And if you need forum consulting, Jacob Bunce (jakeman) is one of those developers, and though he is assisting XenForo as a side-job to his profession, he is incredibly helpful and provides a lot of information, if needed, as an interest/hobby/background expertise.

Also, I can provide any assistance as I've deployed several websites, UX/UI and graphic designs for the my current employer, the California State Legislature. (I'm looking for a career and job shift anyway, and would like to contribute any way I can)

redesign away. downtime will be less than Underworld announcements.

i'm getting a certificate expired message on chrome for every link and page on the forums:

This server could not prove that it is www.borndirty.org; its security certificate expired yesterday. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection. Your computer's clock is currently set to Saturday, December 31, 2016. Does that look right? If not, you should correct your system's clock and then refresh this page.

Will this be a future issue?
