I will be unable to investigate this problem until I return from holiday on the 9th.

SORRY

This is what I get from my browser:
"www.linkscorner.org uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not secure because it is self-signed
."
I hope you can find the solution. Looks like an SSL certificate renewal issue :cry:

Relax, Archytas. These interruptions have happened many times in the past, and they will continue to happen in the future. Find something else to do - count to a million by threes :D , and I'm sure it will be back by then. Meanwhile, play whatever tournaments you want, OK?

Relax is pretty well all you can do and there are plenty of events to play ( probably) But in all my years here I can never ever remember Links Corner being down like this. But my memory isn't the best LOL

Archytas didn't seem excited or even worried to me. He simply stated what one sees if they investigate the warning by clicking on advanced. Its hard for folk to play whatever tourney they want if they can't get the course. Don't think the cure for hiccups will work either.

Yes it is Roy...all the way back to the greenskeeps days, since it formed with previous editions. Yahoo had chat rooms.

it involves reporting information to help with diagnosis. Technician reflex which has nothing to do with the erroneous interpretation you make of my answer.

be patient folk, this is a very solvable problem. It just take the time to get the new cert and then install on the servers web services. Done this many times during my have to go to work day. Remember how little we have to pay for the use of this and their site. They will be back.

Can I clarify a few things.

1. The message about secure certificates is a red herring. This is just a by product of the method the hosting company have used to deny access to the site when the malicious attacks started.

2. I have been in touch with the hosting company and suggested a way forward but I am still waiting for a reply from them.

3. I have various other things taking up my time just now which are more important than a golf game.

Please be patient.
