Tried to go to suggestions and this came up: Potential Security Risk Ahead.  Don't know if something on my computer or if others have had some message.

Ales Trtnik will need to update the security certificate on his server. In the meantime, folks can click whatever option is provided to tell the browser to ignore the warning.
When this happened to me a few minutes ago I ignored the warning and fixed the error.  After I updated the status on the suggestion the following error displayed: "Your WikiTreeID does not exist.  Status in updated, but correct it next time. "

The profile is updated and the suggestion is gone, so I think all is well.  I'm assuming the error is related to what Ales needs to update on the server.

Certificate on my server expired. It does every 3 months. We have automated renewal set up, but something was not working properly.

It should all work now.

It appears the security certificate on Aleš server has expired. I sent him a message so he can check on it.

Just a note, there is no real security concern here in my opinion since the two systems do not communicate password or email information. If you would like to proceed, in Chrome you can bypass the message by selecting the "Advanced" option at the bottom left and proceeding to the site.

This could be completely unrelated, but about an hour ago Akamai had a DNS failure/outage. It's affecting a lot of major sites. It should fix itself if this is the case.
