Problem with Scotlands People
« on: Saturday 28 February 15 18:15 GMT (UK) »
I'm hoping that I don't have an IT problem, but is anyone else experiencing difficulties in purchasing credits on Scotlands People today?

I keep getting a message that the connection is not secure and that a certificate has expired and the page gives me a button to go "back to safety".

I'm now running a full scan on my laptop but my firewall and security all appeared to be in order.

If this post is not in the correct place, I apologise, but thought it would be seen quickest here.

Thanks.

Hi,

I go that message yesterday when I was trying to access a NZ site .... it was nothing to worry about turned out they are doing a bit of maintenance.

Perhaps Scotlands People were doing a bit of tweaking on the site?

Cheers

Looks like their SSL certificate expired at 15:18 this afternoon - oops  ::)

No doubt someone will get their knuckles rapped for that on Monday  ;D

Thanks for the replies, folks!

So glad it's nothing to do with my laptop!
