Hi,

I went to the CCZC shop today with the intention of buying the microfiche CD, but the store page displays a message stating the website certificate has expired.

Is it still safe to proceed with ordering the CD?

Yes. This has been this way for some time and has been discussed on the board before. I'm not sure why it hasn't been addressed. Perhaps one of the admins will chime in.

their just not paying who ever they pay to maintain there SSL anymore. as far as i know they have there own servers and the page that process the info is still secure. when your browser goes to a SSL (https://) it checks their certificate with a national database. this way you know its truly a SSL site and not just one posing as one. just because they no longer pay to maintain the certificate with the national database doesn't mean the server is not secure. im not sure how you pay with cczc, but im willing to bet its with paypal and paypal by law has to maintain a SSL certificate. so no worries.

Great! Thanks for the explanation. I'll go ahead and order it then.
