    I was viewing page 1 of General F D.
    I attempted to go to page 2.
    I was blocked and received this message.

    this is the first time it happened to me. I was on INGO yesterday and had no problems.

    Comcast has nothing to do with it.

    Basically it is telling you there is an issue with the certificate the site uses for HTTPS. It is odd that it is sporadic like that. I would be curious to see what the certificate looks like when someone gets the error.

    This is going to sound stupid but i have seen it lots of times. Is the time/date on your computer correct? Sometimes the computer time/date is wrong, which can cause browsing issues.

    Lets say, Today, you are surfing the net your computer thinks its 3:00 Pm on November 13. So it sends a request to the web server, the server answer back with the requested information but its time stamped 8:34am on Oct 17. Your browser says "Hey wait a minute, thats impossible something fishy is going on here, shut it down" ERROR!

    Here is what I have noticed:

    From my IU network Firefox works as it should (version 56.0.1).

    When I remote desktop to my home machine (xfinity/Comcast) using the same version of firefox (56.0.1) I get the error as described above. No other browser gives this error at either site.

    No problems here except on Firefox which whines about the connection being insecure. Works on IE, Chrome and Opera.

    Firefox error message:
    ingunowners.com uses an invalid security certificate.

    The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.
    The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates.
    An additional root certificate may need to be imported.

    Lots of times the ad’s linking off the site are the issue. Personally think it is the linking to the new palmetto state armory site.
    Same thing happened when the chevy truck ad was up top to get the false clicks while hitting the new posts button.

    Just a bit of advise to the site operations people. I doubt it is the site (INGO) but the linked advertising sight.

    I just attempted to access INGO from firefox yahoo. Refused to access.
    I opened Internet explorer. I was able to open INGO.
    It took several tries tries to sign in.

    By the way. Did INGO sign Cabela's on to advertize now?
