Oldsmobile Club of America

I have been attempting to get on the Oldsmobile Club of America web site and I cannot get on their site. My computer tells me that the security certificate is invalid.
Is anyone else having trouble with that site or does anyone have any suggestions how I can get there.
I currently am not a member and would like to join.
Any help will be appreciated

I have no trouble getting on the site at this link:

http://www.oldsmobileclub.org/


Try another browser if the one you're using continues to have problems. Make sure you have the very latest version of whatever browser you are using.


The OCA website has this note in the "news" section. I use Firefox and don't have a problem.

I just googled "invalid security certificate," and you might do the same if you continue to have problems as there are apparently a variety of possible causes ranging from interference by your anti-virus software to an incorrect date setting on your computer.

It's almost always the date setting on your computer.

I tried and got the message in both Edge and Firefox. It definitely is not the date on my PC. Its something on the sites side that is tripping security programs.

I just used Internet Explorer on my work computer and followed Jaunty's link. The government computers are loaded up with all sorts of spy-ware. I'm surprised it worked.

I get a block message that warns that the site can pull information from my computer.

Basically it shows a locked lock. Then it says

THIS CONNECTION IS NOT PRIVATE
This website may be impersonating "www.oldsmobileclub.org" to steal your personal or financial information. You should go back to the previous page.

I don't get a "connection is not private" message, but I do see this if I click on the little "information" icon at the far left of the address bar.

There is no lock symbol nor "https://"

It's enough to give one a little pause.






Compare the above to what I see when I am on this site.






The above are what I see using Firefox, which is what I use most often.

Chrome's message is a little more scary. The OCA wants members to log in at the site. I think the OCA has some work to do to make its site more secure.




Just to finish the thought, here's what Edge shows.
