Probably because your timezone is behind

What do you mean it's behind? I'm in the eastern US

According to SSLLabs, the certificate *did* expire. Almost an hour ago in fact.

Sheesh. Stop posting the same useless Chrome screenshots over and over again, it doesn't say anything useful.
Welp. Someone forgot to renew the SSL certificate, the cerftificate has expired. Costello, other admins, please fix.

gbatemp.net uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate expired on Thursday October 15 2015 21:52. The current time is Thursday October 15 2015 22:55. (Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate)

This server is vulnerable to the POODLE attack.

Yep, the ssl cert expired.

(Don't mind the onion router, I use that when Youtube gets throttled; not for this site)

 

[Costello]

it didn't autorenew for some reason, but I'm taking care of it now.

 

[ric.]

Awesome, thanks a lot.

 

[Costello]

Can confirm the problem is solved, my browser connects correctly through https now. Thank you for promptly fixing this issue.

no...

in order to offer HTTPS support (secure communications) in a reliable way, a website needs to purchase an SSL certificate, which costs about 70 USD a year.

normally my subscription autorenews, but apparently not this year, so... for a short time, our HTTPS server offered a secure connection but with an expired certificate. That has no impact in terms of security for anyone.

Here is your big bag of Monopoly money for letting me hijack the site and insert subliminal messages to further push the Canadian agenda.

 

[jonthedit]

no..

Costello, do you take the hit for all server costs?
Also, weird because for a few others [myself included] It never claimed it was expired.

GBAtemp has a sponsor, that probably pays for the server cost, they also get some income from ShopTemp. In any case Costello has made it clear in the past that GBAtemp does not need any more money, I once suggested that he add a donate link somewhere and that was his response to me.

Here's what it's saying now.

That's because they're linking to non-https js/css files on a cdn (they should either use <script src="https://link.com/js.js"></script> or <script src="//link.com/js.js"></script>; would recommend the frist one though).
