All hail Lazeez the Great!
It takes something like this to make you realize you were missing your fix.
Ditto
I never realized how much time I spent on the Forum.
Well the first thing I noticed was the reference to Monday the 19th. Luckily he did mean Monday, just not the 19th.
Correct priorities though, getting the site back up again was more important than checking statements for accuracy.
I suspect the use of a 2025 calendar, I'm in a club where events are frequently announced as being held on Sunday the Nth where N was the Saturday, or vice versa.
Yeah, I was worried that he really meant Monday the 19th - which would be *October*!
God forbid!
No, it was just the lack of sleep. I am now in Canada and travel took a long time and I can't sleep when I travel, so I was running on a couple of hours of sleep in 48 hours.
It depends on your location. Both were correct, depending on your location, just not both in the same place. The site came back up on Monday in Hawaii (for example) and on the 19th in New Zealand.
In my experience, Murphy is all-powerful and has no need to team up with any lesser powers to break anything.
Yay! Thank you Lazeez for all you work, effort, and dedication! Thank you for putting up the warning notice last week about the possibility of down-time.
Is anyone having issues with Storyroom.com and Scifistories.com at the moment?
Both sites (main pages and links to stories there) are both returning

Thank you.
If only I knew a way of updating the certificates on my browsers ...

I was out and just got back.
Both sites work for me, I had not tried accessing them before I went out.
That implies that clearing your cache could fix the problem.

Specifically, I had thought your browser was cacheing the old (expired) certificate.

No. The browsers I have on this machine are no longer supported. Chrome stopped issuing updated certificates - sometimes I can use 'advanced' and access a site unsecurely, but if the date is wrong that's a complete blocker. I believe Firefox is still maintaining important certificates but a while back a root certificate for add-ons expired and Firefox are not updating it.
