Does anyone have trouble logging in? This is an https site and my Firefox browser refused to log me in claiming the site is not configured right or the certificate has expired. The concern is that overnight this site (agnostic.com) became fake or someone wants to hijack you. This annoying problem can be prevented.
Go to settings in Firefox, find privacy and security, then go to certificates. Add [agnostic.com] as an exception and make it permanent. Certificates are only valid a short time so this should do it. I use Firefox exclusively and this has happened now on 2 or my 3 computers. Close and re-start Firefox and you should be fine.
It is strange to me that this sort of thing is happening. I also find that off and on a site might ask you to login again and even though you have the right info the site wants to text you to "prove it is really you." This last one disguised as how vigilant they are at protecting is really just a guarantee to them that they continue to have all your info.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I use the Chrome browser for everything, and there is no opportunity to ignore sites with faulty security configuration.
In order to participate here I'm using an obscure browser that I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

I've been having the same problem. I have a "not secure" warning from google in the url. It's been acting a little wonky lately so I was wondering what's going on. Email problems, etc.

I am able to access this site using Firefox on my Linux computer but not on my windows computer. Chrome locks me on both computers and does not give me an option to add it as an exception. I am starting to wonder if this site is something of a "flying dutchman" right now. That is not a good sign.

Same issue here. expired certificate so firefox is warning against the site. My phone simply refuses to login anymore. If only there was an admin who would renew the certificate...

I had heard the site needed a new admin sometime back. I couldn’t log in earlier today. Made me sad but much to my delight I managed to log in! Love this group and all the nut jobs in it! Lol!

Thank you from one of the nut jobs 
I love the group too
Submitted to support. Their cert expired. Certain browsers will prevent you from accessing sites that have expired certs.

True, and certificates are not needed for every server site. This site is https so I made an exception in my Firefox browser. This can be done in other browsers too.
@DenoPenno Google says agnostic.com is not https but let's me sign in with a "not secure" warning. I tried Humanity.com and got the same warnings
According to my antivirus program, it appears the site owner hasn't updated the certificate which expired yesterday. Suggesting the site may have the potential to be exposed to our information being stolen. I highly suggest you have your devices well protected until the issue is solved!

I have no info on here to steal in the first place as I am always incognito. My cure was to make this site a permanent exception to the certificate rule. I can do this because I have other programs protecting my data and my banking data is not stored on my PC and I have no gypto crypro. This certificate problem has now involved all 3 of my desktop computers.
William, I do not fully trust my antivirus program because it keeps eating my Vyper VPN as a non trusted program. I have to work around that issue also. This may be because my antivirus also has a VPN that they want you to buy. Vyper (Golden Frog) serves me well and I pay for it monthly at a lesser rate than the AV offers.
I use Firefox as my primary browser, and the first time I went o log on, it told me the certificate expired, but I just tried it a couple hours late and I had no problem.
In the Community Senate group they said the certificate did expire. I asked if anyone notified @Admin , as I though perheps they meant to renew, but just overlooked it.
Anyway, all seems well now.
