I'm getting an unknown certificate at the ronpaul2008.com site, listed as coming from localhost.localdomain from "SomeOrganization" - anybody else encountering this?

Yes. I can't imagine that their certificate has expired since the Web site has been up for less than a year. Techies?

BTW, I closed the browser tab before accepting the certificate, tried again, and the next time, I did NOT get the warning.

I'm in firefox, so I simply canceled the warning without accepting the certificate, and I'm getting it every time I try to load ronpaul2008.com. I'll wait til the site gurus reconfigure the server and I get a certificate I recognize and can verify.

What??? That is really bad. It will put people off going on to donate for the first time. Is somebody alerted to this?

I'm seeing it too. It looks like the site certificate is set to localhost.localdomain. I think that is wrong... it looks like maybe the certificate got zapped and replaced with a default one. Hackers?

Everything OK from my screen - I even did a total refresh of the site - it popped right up and the counter kept growing!

Something weird is going on in Web Land!

Try adding "www" before ronpaul2008.com

Misconfigured cert set to "localhost@localdomain". Needs to be set to "ronpaul2008.com".

Need to tell someone ASAP!

Fickle users will turn away, tech savvy know to accept the cert.
