Could be but they will also notice other great resources lacking as well... such as the arch wiki (what others from the 10000 certs issued?). And the missing certificate from the CA's problem may or may not go away (browser update)... if it does not go away it will only get worse (as the new CA signs more certs).

I would say that it *might* be better to place import files / instructions on the main static page... however it is also encrypted so that would be useless.

I think Blackberry browser is the problem. Fortunately the BB marketshare is about 0.1% of the smartphones

Many sites work. I think this should be one of the many that work. If that gives us a leg up over other distros, that would be fine by me. ISTM that getting blocked from our site has got to be very frustrating and off-putting.

Especially when you are frustrated and off-put by the problem you are attempting to resolve ;)

Yes... and to adobe / skype linux was only around 1% of desktop market share........
I heard it is around 2 1/4 now? Maybe that is why the interest from skype and adobe again.

Anyway looking past it being an issue for BB10 Browser; It is also an issue for any device that pre-dates the conception of let's encrypt and is not receiving updates. Which if I understand correctly was about this time a year ago.

Yes, just figured it was because it was the new servers.

I did when I was still using an old bookmark to get to the forum initially. Deleted old bookmark, bookmarked the page again, and no more trouble with the login.
