I just tried the "PICAXE" menu and get the following error message from my Internet Security software. While I'm pretty sure there is no actual security risk, the site certification needs updating for the new server or software.

Strange ?.
I get 404, but you get Bad Certificate.
What happens if you press 'I want to continue' ?
Thanks, these off forum links have been fixed.

The problem has gone away now so I can't test it further. There are a variety of causes to the problem (from 'hacked' websites through to the system being unable to establish a secure connection to the destination page). In this case, I suspect that a secure connection could not be established.

The last option on the PICAXE dropdown (AXE027 USB Cable Drivers) still doesn't work due to a certificate error.
The link is directing you to the following address:
However the certificate is not valid for www.picaxe.com. The certificate is only valid for picaxe.com.
The correct link appears to be...
picaxe.com
Below here is the error report:
Web sites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for www.picaxe.com. The certificate is only valid for picaxe.com.
Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

PICAXE USB download cable (stereo 3.5mm connector). Suitable for all PICAXE boards.

The new forum software does not appear to be automatically setting links to a different colour - so you can't tell they're LINKS (like the preceding text in capitals).
It works if you manually select a colour for THEM but it's a bit tedious. It appears to apply to all existing posts as well
EDIT: Now it's fixed, it appears you can still override the colour if you don't like blue

The updated forum does have a few extra style option differences, hyperlinks in posts was one of them - now tweaked so should be coloured.

The problem has gone away due to the drop down links having been corrected.
(those links no longer have www. in the URL).

I'm not receiving email notifications for new messages in Watched Threads. It was somewhat sporadic before the forum upgrade, but has completely stopped now.
I run my own Mail Server and can see no sign of even an attempted incoming connection at the time relevant messages are posted. There is, however, the possibility that it is the Firewall on my Router.
What is the expected IP address of the PicaxeForum SMTP server that I should check
(Or are there error messages in the log at the Forum end?)
I'll check back periodically, to see if there is a reply

Hi,
All my User Settings / Preferences seem to be correct, although I don't recall needing to Log In (manually) since the Update?
Cheers, Alan.
Same here; I think I used to get them quite reliably, but none since the forum Upgrade.I'm not receiving email notifications for new messages in Watched Threads. It was somewhat sporadic before the forum upgrade, but has completely stopped now.

Sod's Law seems to apply here - I received a notification for that message

Ever since the forum upgrade, the site keeps asking for a cookie, even though I accept it every time.
It is becoming tiresome to click

I also got that several times, but it's fine now.
