I think this has been fixed. I was getting the same thing just trying to get to the forum. I believe it had to do with out-of-date security certificates.

I was able to at least start a post in the for sale section. I suggest that you log out and log back in. As they say "Get out of the car, get back in!".

Did that too...
Also cleared cookies and history too.
It's not that it is not working, I think.
It says "I am blocked"
I can post here, but not there
Maybe because picture was to large? just guessing


Thanks again Kurt

I don't think a large picture would get you blocked...it just wouldn't load the picture. It's clear you can post, so there's something else going on. Give it some time. Maybe the webmaster will see this exchange and change things if needed.

Hello,

First, apologies for anyone that was trying to access the site earlier as the certificate timed out and our certificate vendor was having issues. It took me several hours to fix the issue. Apologies!!

I have verified that the system is back up and running, but it is VERY likely that browsers can cache various certs and settings, and we did have a bad certificate up for a while during the time I was trying to renew.

Can I ask what browser/OS you are using?

I am VERY sorry for this inconvenience but I suggest you clear all cookies and cache for the vintagebmw.org site. If I know the browser/OS I can guide you to doing this.

Please let me know and I will be on top of it!

Best,

James
