The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

As I access the forum, I keep getting this:

This server could not prove that it is forum.talkingmachine.info; its security certificate expired in the last day. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection. Your computer's clock is currently set to Thursday, July 27, 2023. Does that look right? If not, you should correct your system's clock and then refresh this page.

It happens when I open the index page and when I try to open one of the subforums/a topic. Any hope this might get resolved? Is it yet another symptom that we've been abandoned? Seems not to be good news, in any case.

I had the same problem this afternoon for an hour or two but suddenly all came right again but I do not know why ? Rather worrying, especially in view of the threatening nature of the message. Let us hope our computers/phones are not now vulnerable ?

Same here, even when trying to read or write messages... Expired certificate... I have to jump over safety warnings to reach here...

I'm getting the same thing.

I guess Morpheus is lost in the Matrix.

Is it time to finally bail out and ask to join APS forum?

It's a great shame and so much information will be lost forever but after 14 years and no one at the helm anymore it might indeed be time. My understanding is that we were cast adrift some time ago and without a captain its amazing we haven't already sunk, with the holes appearing everywhere!

I'm happy to talk via email with other members here in the meantime but can I suggest you make a note of fellow members details who you keep in regular PM contact with normally, if you don't know their full contact details, as you might otherwise lose contact altogether!

You can say that again !

I think I already did by the look of it!

For those who might not know already, APS is the Antique Phonograph Society. Just don't all crowd at once, we don't want to be responsible for sinking their forum in the process!

Good evening, ladies and gents.
