Those pictures will be the three public profile pictures that were showing when the first review was posted. They are loaded automatically so can't come from the private gallery. It looks like the profile has been sold on since the first reviewer saw her in May

As Davie says above and the thumbnails will stay the same.

As in the case with this profile, if you click on them they will usually display what are the current home page profile pics and not enlarge the thumbnail.

The girl showing in the main profile pics is the girl I saw in May. As I stated in my review then, the pictures at the time weren't her, my description of her concurs with the current pictures.

The original pictures were stolen from IG - probably an account set up and authenticated for the purpose of selling on.

I am getting a message in my personal messages section that i can only reply to messages but cannot contact new members.

Why is this? Is this only me or a forum rule..

4 years since a Review isn’t helping your case for PM rights.

[royal_male]

I have moved out of the UK, as you can see i have contributed in Europe punting reviews. The COVID situation also doesnt help.

Yeah makes sense to have a dedicated thread but probably a thankless task as people will probably still start a new one anyway, must have had about 20 new ones this month about this as people don't read all the boards properly before posting

I've got this too, can't think why, last message was June, last review March. Where would I find Head's promised explanatory thread when it's posted, please?

Unfortunately there are many things that have just become part of modern life and we all just accept.

After following the previous advice given to you.

Making sure you have passwords for everything.
Firstly try a different browser. (I use chrome on a desktop, Safari on my phone)
Then clear the browser history, and clear all the cookies.
Then check your preferred browser for updates, and try updating.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

He hasn't got an issue with accessing the site, like quite a few other new members he didn't know where the new review tab was.  Some don't realise that you have to open the review page for the area you want to post it in.

I got a warning about an expired SSL certificate or something when I just signed in now?

[Strawberry]

I got a warning about an expired SSL certificate or something when I just signed in now?

Yes I can't sigh In using my usual browser, had to.use a different one. Suspect SSL for the site has expired again.

[Waterhouse]

Is working fine for me.  The SSL warning flashed up once, but that was immediately after the daily routine maintenance around 5:30am.

Have cleared web data and re-logged in to test, and still seems fine to me - no warnings etc. 

Maybe clear your browser cache and try again.

This is what firefox which will not connect is saying;

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to www.ukpunting.com. The web site is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the web site’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely.

What can you do about it?

www.ukpunting.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the web site, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the web site’s administrator about the problem.

Happens several times a year if I remember rightly.

[Marmalade]

My Safari just blocks it, says it can’t obtain a secure connection. Logged on with Firefox and just skip past the warning pages. Chrome tells me someone might be trying to steal passwords but let’s me proceed if I ignore the warning. Brave gives the same warning and option to proceed anyway.

[EvilS]

Getting the same error too on Chrome. Works fine on Firefox though.

Same here. Cleared all the cache and cookies on safari, then had the option to proceed to the website.

Judging by the number of guests/members currently online, this seems to be affecting a lot of people.

[Warkboy]

Anyone else getting security warnings and "certificate expired" messages when connecting to the site?

[southcoastpunter]

yes - if you looked at " Topic: Post Forum issues here" (where you should have put this) you will see others are having similar issues today.

[advent2016]

Cert expired.
It's unlikely that one or two days the site will suddenly become more dangerous. I ignored it

The owner of www.ukpunting.com has configured their web site improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this web site.
blah blah blah

The site usually goes down for maintenance around 4 in the morning. Maybe Head1 just had a himdinger of a Saturday night. 
As Strawberry said, it happens occasionally. No big panic if you trust the site not to self-destruct the known universe before tomorrow morning.

Apologies for the lack of ssl today. My forgetful mind fuck up

Your no longer a forum helper, like myself, seems head1 removed the privilege from some of us

[Blackpool Rock]

Yeah likewise, I did occasionally index a review or move a topic and change a thread title but invariably Finchy had already got there first 
I can understand why Head1 has trimmed the helpers down otherwise you end up with 100's of them of which only a few actually do any meaningful helping but it give the impression that the site is over run with them

If you or the admin of the hosting site set up auto-renew of SSL certs it'll save you/them having to remember

Someone edited my review post between last night and today morning. The post does not show any edit history. Has the site brought in an Editor or someone is eavesdropping?

Helpers can only edit the subject, not the content of the post.  Normally this is only done in order to correct or clarify details in the subject heading.

As did I. I would always go to this with a view to index and as you say only to find finchy was there within few minutes of the review posting. Ive seen it when he's beaten me to my own review, thats how fast he is.
Actually I'm a bit disappointed to have lost this privelege if I'm honest

I'm using chrome.

Thanks in advance.
