I have been getting this message on my computer for the Collectors' Universe site. Has anyone else been seeing this notice. I've been on this site for many years, so I don't believe for a minute that it has gone bad.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

Yes, I am just now getting this error also.

It allegedly expired earlier today. It will probably get renewed by the admin. as soon as they're made aware of the expiration.

I got it too. Caused me concern but apparently the problem is with CU.

As I stated in another thread... I tried several times and even tried a new ID...all failed.... then I rebooted and everything was fine.... Cheers, RickO
When you visit a site, much of the information is cached on your computer, to make loading the next page of the site (which has lots of the same content such as icons and style sheets and ...) faster. The cached items have a TTL (Time to live) which can be a long time for static items (like the icons) and shorter for dynamic content such as a news story.
If the expired SSL certificate was cached, your browsers wouldn't try to fetch the new one, even if it had been updated at the site. One of the ways to clear the cache is to reboot the machine. After that, it fetched the new, unexpired certificate and everything works again.
This is why it's a good idea to get a renewal certificate installed before the old one expires.

As dbldie55 explained in a different thread, the CU certificate expired yesterday.

It was shut down for 24 hours and it would have been longer, except someone paid Network Solutions the $35 registration fee.
