The Reason the FMCA forums were down on 09/25/2018

Hi All,

The FMCA forums are now back up and functioning properly.

The reason that the site was down came down to problems with the SSL on the site not auto-renewing due to some DNS changes we had in place.

SSL stands for "Secure Socket Layer".

It is the little green lock up by the url. What is does is encrypts communication between the members browser and the website.

Google and Bing are requiring that all sites that want to show up in search results have a SSL, so that is why we have to have one on the forums site.

We have made note of the problem and do not foresee the issue arising again in the future.
