I just noticed this on discord:
Not sure if this is still an issue.

They can email me joedf at ahkscript org!

Ah ok, I'll pass that along if i see it again.

EDIT: Just wasn't sure if this was another email related issue.

@TheArkive Thanks!
I guess I could ask @RUNIE; Could you add a notice or message/announcement somewhere for people who are unable to active or create a forum account? They can either email me or post as guest here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5008

@joedf
That looks like some info that can go into the #faq channel on discord. I can't place that there but i can forward the message on ModMail.

Adding it to our faq channel will do nothing, as people won't read that before asking (a small percentage does but it's not gonna be noticable)

On a related note -- can forum moderators activate user accounts or can only admins do that?

As a moderator you should be able to. I can log in to (a user-related subset of) the Administration Control Panel (link at the top of the page, next to the Moderator Control Panel).
Click on an inactive user (or search for one) > then see Basic Tools > Quick Tools.

There, I see the option to activate an account... I haven't done that yet, but I have done two or three other actions for users so far.

Just started getting the problem in the screenshots below when trying to visit the version files for V1 and V2:
https://autohotkey.com/download/1.1/version.txt
https://autohotkey.com/download/2.0/version.txt

In Chrome:


In Firefox:


This apparently is also causing my daily Check-for-New-V1 and Check-for-New-V2 scripts to fail. Regards, Joe

Probably related: this expired certificate issue for the acrhived forums: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=95148
(same certificate, it seems)

The problem may be due to incorrect redirect rules in the .htaccess file.
See this link for more info: viewtopic.php?p=422904#p422904

@JoeWinograd: Adding 'www.' to your URLs worked for me as a quick fix.

this is totally fucked up. certificates are at a domain, server level not path. it makes no sense why some paths are affected while others are not

@RUNIE No worries, whatever helps. Thanks! and yes as @gregster mentioned, mods should be able to activate accounts as well. If not, anyone should let me know, and I can look into it.
@JoeWinograd @gregster @anaglypta Thanks for reporting/sharing info on this.

@tank It is a bit to me as well, but I remember reading somewhere that subdomains are considered different domains for cert, unless you get a "wildcard" *.domain.com or more encompassing certificate...

Just FYI, the certificate issue may be a red herring. The certificate may be fine.

IIRC, one time when I was fixing redirect rules in my website's .htaccess file, RewriteCond/RewriteRule etc, I did it incorrectly.
When I typed URLs into the address bar, it went into an infinite loop, constantly redirecting the URL, it would quickly give up and show a certificate error.

Thanks very much for that tip! Worked here, too, for both the V1 and V2 files. Regards, Joe

fwiw, we did end up adding a small message to #faq, while it likely won't help, adding it isn't harmful either.

forums are kinda unusable ngl. leave a tab unattended for 10 secs, the next time u try doing something with it u get a timeout error a bunch of times. and when it does work, everythings dog slow

I have been experiencing this lately as well, within the last 24 hrs or so.

EDIT: Actually more like the last 6 hrs.

Same thing here. Slow as molasses ...

Super slow. Usually times out before completing a response.
