Update 3 Mar 2025, "Privacy error" message no longer appears, Website Admin message still showing however the following text has been added, indicating http certificate has been renewed: "
/var/www/html/templates/httpcertrenewed.txt". If FTH has done this renewal manually (as previous similar support requests suggest), thank you.
Request your assistance to respond to message to Website Administrator on Club website, ref below in bold text.
I have tried to follow the troubleshooting guidance provided in message however I was unable to resolve issue (see my responses below in blue text).
Using Google Chrome, Windows 7.
Your assistance would be appreciated.
