Certainly anybody who recommends Edge as anotheruser has should be taking a serious look at their computer use.

Whilst I generally agree, to be fair Edge has come on in leaps and bounds since W10 was first released - it's a far better browser than IE, and is not far behind FF and Chrome.

(I use Chrome as my main browser, BTW)

I understand but it's so far bast it's best before date, it's not even funny any more.
Sort of like people sticking with Windows 98, because it does what they want..

MS stopped updating Win98 decades ago - FF is still in active development and is updated all the time - just like Chrome, for example. Are you not updating yours, or is 2003 the last time you used it or something? Is there something you feel Chrome does far better than FF, that makes it so bad?
Just FYI, I usually stick with Chrome for videos but otherwise they're both mostly on a par - they annoy me equally causing me to switch to the other!

Login without the https or if you have it email the site admin or one of the moderators or whatever they use and tell them to update the time on their system.

Sorted.

That would be pointless as it won't be what is causing the problem. The way you get certificate failures is when your own computer clock is out far enough to make it appear that the certificate is outside its period of validity. If have a site time not identical to your own caused a problem then you'd never be able to visit any foreign website using https.

It's either the OPs clock is miles out or the certificate problem shown in my earlier post causing the browser to complain.

I think your credibility has been well and truly lost on this issue.....So, excuse us if we don't take your advice.;)

I always ignore this message because they even claim MS hasn't configured its website properly!
