Today I saw that thing happening (occurred around 5 times today.

That happens from time to time. I haven't been able to figure out what causes it.

That kind of error happened first time yesterday. Didn't encounter it earlier.

Thanks

It actually looks like this is becoming a bigger problem than I previously thought.

After logging in today, when I click on someone's username to go their profile, I get the error. When I click on "Forums", I get the error. When I click on "Topics," I get the error.

In other words most links seem to be generating this error.

The first thing to do if you get "Error 526" is to click "Retry for a live version." That will sometimes reload the page automatically (but sometimes you'll have to wait a few minutes, then try again.)

I'm trying to troubleshoot but so far everything I've read basically says "if you have this error then your SSL certificate is invalid," however, when I log into my host provider it shows my SSL certificate IS valid... so, I'm trying to get it resolved but right now it's a real head scratcher...

I don't know why does that happen. Today no errors yet.

I hope that won't happen again.

If it does happen (and especially if it prevents you from logging in, posting on the forum, etc.) don't forget you can also reach me on our Facebook page.
