Well, it seems that every time that I visit the Goblinworks website, I first have to go through a page that reads "There is a problem with this website's security certificate."
It's getting rather annoying, and I don't praticularly want to change my security settings, but, I'm not really concerned about it - since I know and trust the website.
More than anything, I was wondering if anyone else has had the issue, and if the fine folks at Goblinworks have heard anyone else report it, and if they can do anything to fix such a thing on their end.
Thanks!

No problem here (using Chrome), but I do get a message that some of the resources are not protected by the certificate. This might be the Kickstarter block, or perhaps the Facebook/Twitter icons.
The certificate itself is fine (though the encryption could be a bit higher, but that's a cost\risk thing mostly).
Also, most sites don't put their public info behind an SSL certificate.

That message would be triggered by the Kickstarter button, which is coming down today.

The problem with the security certificate is that they are using Paizo's certificate when the website and company name (GW) are completely different. Unless that changes, it will always be a red flag for certain systems.
That's not quite correct. Goblinworks.com has its own secure cert, but it's served from a server that *also* has a paizo.com secure cert. As long as your browser supports SNI, that won't be a problem, but if you have a browser that *doesn't* support SNI, your browser may get served up the paizo.com cert, and you could see a certificate mismatch error.
The following [clients] do not support SNI:
Internet Explorer (any version) on Windows XP
Safari on Windows XP
wget [but has a patch available].
BlackBerry Browser
Windows Mobile up to 6.5
Android default browser on Android 2.x (Fixed in Honeycomb for tablets and Ice Cream Sandwich for phones)
If you're concerned, just view the certificate, and if you see the cert is for paizo.com instead of gobinworks.com, it's okay to trust it.
This problem will go away once goblinworks moves their domain to their own servers.

Wow ... there's a lot of Chrome-users!
(Without devolving into a flame-war on the browser I use ...)
I (typically) use IE9 (v9.0.8). Most of the reason that I ask about this is that I would think that Goblinworks would try to go out of their way to make certain that something like that isn't an issue on *any* browser ...
I mean, they're getting ready to (hopefully) be thrust into the limelight as a tech-based company for a computer program (a video game, at that). It seems in their best interest to make absolutely certain that they aren't giving a poor impression to those who visit their website.
I backed them, I'm on the Goblin Squad ... I'm just sayin', this is sort of a customer service issue.

At the moment, Goblinworks is likely working out of Paizo offices. Once they have their own, and their own web servers, this problem will disappear. As it happens, it seems to be on a relatively low percentage of users anyway (I get it at work but not at home).
It'll be on the list of things to do but is pretty low priority at the moment.
