The first was an error in the SSL certificate renewal configuration which had gained an outdated account ID when I updated the configuration 3 months ago (the certificates need to be updated every 3 months).
The second was that I enabled a Cloudflare proxy 2 months ago, not realising that Cloudflare can interfere with SS certificate renewal and requires a different plugin to the one that we have been running for years.

So I have now disabled Cloudflare, fixed the renewal configurations and renewed all of the certificates. I a day or two I will redo the configuration for certificate renewal with Cloudflare and then re-enable Cloudflare.
WHAT? !!!! no idea what yer on about. :oops:
Good job you understand these things.

Yes, at some time at my convenience for me.

The problem with learning from your mistakes is that I CAN'T TAKE IN ALL THIS KNOWLEDGE!!!

This still seems to be going on. This I am alternately getting the two following errors when trying to access the forum normally.

However clicking the link in a PM notification email appears to get around it, and is how I'm here to post this now.
