    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    Yep, added the exception. Error message said that the site's certificate ran out on Feb 2and. I hope that they get it fixed soon because a lot of people won't come here when the warning comes up. They won't trust the site.

    I'm pretty sure this is a zombie site now. I'm just waiting for the day it doesn't work anymore.

    Seems like the same thing happened about 2 years ago and it got fixed. Things were a little different then.

    I'm staying optimistic but yall might want to gather any contact info while you can in case it all turns to s**t.

    Buyer/seller threads still get approved. Ppl still get banned. There is a very silent admin checking in at least from time to time

    You're right, it just takes longer for something to happen. I'm not complaining because I have no idea what it takes to keep the SMF up and running smoothly.

    It's still the best site out there.

    Still having the same issue.

    Since I posted this yesterday and opened a support ticket it has received 123 views. I may be wrong but imagine what might happen if at least half of you opened a ticket also.

    Would it help and maybe get someones attention?

    It sure as hell wouldn't hurt.

    I stopped receiving email notifications around the first of the year, when I get a private message...opened a ticket but didn't get a reply for over 2 weeks. Still having same issue but never got another reply.

    Cert issue came up as well.

    Never give up. Keep updating those support tickets.

    I even reported my first post on this thread hoping they might see it.

    I'm sure they're working on it.

    I know forum still works as I get replies to my ads on here every once in a while........The certification issues are troubling.........this has happened before but usually never this long of a period of time......Hope they get the site dialed in as the weather should be changing soon and scrap season picks up..........Would be nice if they named some new MODS to help with maintenance of site

    Their website has a cert issue. Best practice is to set a reminder at least 2 weeks before it's going to expire in order to plan maintenance/outage, generate a new cert request, get it signed by a public certificate authority and then install it.
