Just now (2015-12-01 @ 2:55pm) I'm getting "your connection is not private" warnings (NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID) from Chrome when I go to https://oaklandwiki.org. I don't get it from localwiki.org

Yup, we need to swap out the SSL certificate. I thought it wouldn't error until tomorrow. For now please use the localwiki domain- I'm moving most of today and won't get to it until later tonight!

Are you working on locakwiki.org now? I'm getting 503 service unavaible, ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED, etc. errors from both localwiki.org and oaklandwiki.org

I'm able to access localwiki.org, but it's really really slow.

I am having issues with the SSL certificate (I assume) accessing the Wiki from my PC, although it works from my iPhone.  Chrome gives me a Privacy Error, and IE simply says it can't display the webpage.  Can't figure out why my iPhone works.  I am able to get to other https pages on my PC, including localwiki.org/oakland, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with my computer.

What operating system does your home PC run? Is it more than a few
years old? The encryption the site uses is a bit newer, so that could
be the problem. I think everything is set up correctly on our end
here -- e.g. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=oaklandwiki.org

Embarrassing to say -- I'm still using Windows XP on my home PC. Haven't had a chance to replace it.

Ah yes, that's the problem. Windows XP doesn't support some important
modern encryption stuff. I believe Firefox on XP may work if you're
in a pinch

The privacy error on oaklandwiki.org is back. "This server could not prove that it is oaklandwiki.org; its security certificate expired yesterday." It works to go to localwiki.org/oakland, but a lot of people won't know to do what.

Looks like something got messed up in our automated system. Should be fixed now!

2016-04-01 (no fooling). oaklandwiki.org works OK on my desktop (Windows + Chrome or IE), but I get the privacy error from my phone (Android + Chrome) if I use oaklandwiki.org . I've gotten one report from someone else (unknown OS and browser) that a link "doesn't work", but my communication with them is sporadic at best.

Hey Gene, does your Android device run Android 2.3.7 or something
around there? According to
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=oaklandwiki.org, it
looks like the very old Android may sometimes not work with modern
HTTPS

Nope, Android 6.0 (a Moto G 2nd Gen)

I just got an error on my iPhone, although I could click through it, but I can't access a page on the site on my phone through a link posted on Facebook.

Okay, I've managed to reproduce the issue by looking at my phone :) I
know what's going on here, but won't have time to fix it up until late
tonight. As a workaround until then, you can use the
https://localwiki.org/oakland URL
