Anybody else getting a regular "cannot establish a secure connection to the site..." warning when trying to post, or is just me?

I think that means the site's Certificate is out of date.

Any ideas Martin? I thought it might a Safari issue, but it's happening in Chrome as well, with annoying regularity. I fully accept it might be a problem my end so any help gratefully received.

It’s a plot.
Russian trolls have instigated a IT shadow over football fans living in/near Leicester.

Either them, or it’s the Legia Warsaw gang trying to assume control of all Villa related comms to upset the team for tomorrow’s match!
