Security Alert
I keep getting a pop up window about a "Security Alert", says something about the "safety certificate" being out of date for these forums 
I just click on the X a few times and it goes away but wondering if any others are seeing this, moderators ???
Thanks
NSF

Maybe if you hold on long enough, the forum fathers will create a HELP forum for problems like this.

I haven't seen that here but I have seen it elsewhere. It comes from fly-by-night companies placing ads on a web site and the site owners not bothering to check who is buying ad space on their site. The popup comes from your web browser warning you that it is trying to load an ad from an unverified location such as a Macedonian content farmer's teenage son. 
The solution is to block all the ads. I see several ads that come directly from Internet Brands (the owners) if I am not logged in which has occurred several times in the past week. Once I log in most of those disappear and I block all the rest with a HOSTS file - http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

With Firefox, to clear ONLY Corvette Forum cookies:
- right-click on a CF page
- go down to "View page info" and open
- click the big padlock on the top labeled "Security."
- click "View cookies" on the right side
- click "Remove all shown" then "Close"
- Sign on
Other browsers are probably similar.

The first thing to try when you get signed out automatically and you shouldn't be is to clear the cookies for the site and start over. How to do it? -- depends on what browser you're using.

Closing this thread since the thread starter created another thread covering the same issue:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...rt-update.html
In regard to having to log in last week, that was a normal event as the sessions were cleared/reset. That doesn't happen often but whenever it does happen it causes all logins to be invalidated and thus requiring a new login for every member. There was another such occurrence a few weeks prior, too, which was related to last week's.
