<p>I'm sorry you're experiencing issues with our site, however as Anguish stated our cert is currently valid and we haven't done anything that would have caused it to present wrong. Since the problem is not on our end it likely is something between our servers and your machine such as a proxy, but its sadly not something we can help diagnose beyond confirming that our certificate is indeed currently valid.</p>
