When trying to log onto rugerforum.net I keep getting a 'Potential Risk' message. Anyone else?

Yes! Me too
Could it be due to a non-secure connection? (No "https" in the address window and no padlock image.) I get the "Not secure" warning with Firefox every time I log into our Smith & Wesson Forum. "Not secure" makes it easier for a hacker to steal your password. Because of this, I do not use my S&W Forum password on any other website. If someone steals it, all they can do is log in here and become a fake swsig. Then I'll change my password, and the moderators can deal with the fake.

So how do we know this is really you and not Bernie Sanders???????????????

1911.com had same issues couple days ago. IT problem with host certificates or something not being updated?
Probably just Ruger doing their superfluous warning thing...

I'm a member there and haven't seen the warning, nor have I had a problem with getting their Thursday e-mail summary of the week's topics.
I'm not a member on Ruger.com. Is there any problem there? I visit occasionally, so as to view both Ruger boards.
Are you fellows members on Ruger.net? If just visitors, you may be seeing things that members don't. ??

Whoa! I just checked, and I DO see that warning!
It was fine on Thursday.
I'll wait a few days and see if it clears up. That's my favorite Ruger board.

Interesting. I tried to log in on the RF from my phone a week ago and got the message that my IP address had been banned. Then I tried on my tablet and I logged in fine, even contacted mods to be sure and they said it must be something “on my end” because I definitely wasn’t banned.

Same thing for a couple days on the 1911 Forum. I logged out for a day and it came back. It's a scam; looking for personnal info from you. DO NOT !!!! go into it; it'll go away eventually.

Seems like I see that on different websites when one of the encryption certificates expire.
I haven't been able to log on for several months.

I've had the same problem since Friday. Hopefully it clears up soon.

I've never been to those forums and input the forum name into google and caught a link to there and tried to go to the forums. And Firefox gave me the "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead" page instead of the forum landing page. I looked under advanced and they said "SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN". I looked at the certificate and immediately I saw the Common Name on the cert as "marlinowners.com", not anything listed with Ruger. They also show a start date of 11/22/19 for the cert and an expire date of 2-20-20. What that is telling me is that there is some kind of foulup on the cert paperwork or something of that nature, since it refers to marlinowners.com and not the website of rugerforum.net.
I bet the owners of that website also own marlinowners.com too and simply screwed the pooch on renewing the certificates. You could probably click through with no consequences and ignore the warning, in my own personal opinion. But with that said, I also accept no responsibility if you get hacked or the bad guys drain your bank account or the black helicopters start circling your house either.
