UltraAlt Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

mechahamham Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) It means that the security cert expired at midnight and has yet to be renewed. Notice that end date there (today). It may require a manual install on the HC devs part. It's not a huge deal unless it gets dropped on the floor and left for more than a day or so. Edited June 4, 2020 by mechahamham 1
CyberWoLfman Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Confirmed. Mechahamham has the right of it. It has to be updated as it had expired back on June 4th, 2020. Many Web sites use an automated process instead of the manual renewal way, where there's signing, validation, creation of the certificate and installation for 'secure' (some use low encryption, but, to be safer, 128 bit AES keys for TLS or higher are recommended for regular Web sites while others use much higher security). If you're un-familiar with the nomenclature or wish to know more, you can look it up on-line. Just keep in mind that by doing so in an area where privacy (or using things like TOR, VPNs, MAC-spoofing and the like) is a no-go, you might get red-flagged which might lead to other things . . . Back in the mid-1990s, I was using 4,096-bit encryption just for the e-mail address that I had made publicly known, and, back then, the majority of people thought that those who believed that governments, corporations or 'black hat' types were violating people's privacy were in the tinfoil hat league and merely conspiracy theorists. ;-) 1 💡City of Heroes Homecoming Server Tips for New Players 👍 (Includes details on the LFG queueing trick!) 🚀 TP Hubs for each shard: 😁 Excelsior shard TP hub with sorted zones and NPCs for your use: /macroimage archetypeicon_peacebringer SG_TP_RaDiCaL_(Tech_Theme) enter_base_from_passcode RADICAL-7910 # # # Torchbearer shard TP hub with sorted zones and NPCs for your use: /macroimage originicon_magic SG_TP_AllOurBase_(Arcane_Theme) enter_base_from_passcode ALLOURBASE-7287 # # # Reunion shard TP hub with sorted zones and NPCs for your use: /macroimage originicon_magic SG_TP_Introverts_(Arcane_Theme) enter_base_from_passcode INTROVERTS-3357 # # # Everlasting (the unofficial RP shard, and, yes, the base is MEANT to be a little 'over-the-top' LOL) TP hub with sorted zones and NPCs for your use: /macroimage originicon_magic SG_TP_SHADOWS_(Arcane_Theme) enter_base_from_passcode SHADOWS-10030 # # # Indomitable shard with NPCs right at the entrance and the teleports just down the hallway and to the left (follow the arrows): /macroimage archetypeicon_peacebringer SG_TP_ToTaLLY_RaD_(Tech_Theme) enter_base_from_passcode RAD-5896 👽 Some of my characters in City of Heroes 🐺
UltraAlt Posted June 4, 2020 Author Posted June 4, 2020 Not "officially" safe until they update the certificate. I would say "Caveat emptor; but this is F2P so - "Cave canem". (translation: I would say "buyer beware", but there is no charge to play this game so - "beware of the dog" (hackers).) I'm assuming that they certificate will be updated during the day, or may have been updated by the time I finished posting it (I hope ... finger crossed) If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.
