I already emailed the site admins. There is really no need to open a ticket or topic about this, it's a routine thing, Let's Encrypt certificates are what is used, and they are only valid for 90 days. It happens for the main website, forum., wiki., support., download., etc. all the time. The sites aren't set to auto-renew, I presume. Examples of previous 'helpful notifications':

Now whether or not to collect all past previous and current thread links and make a sticky or announcement that will get ignored per the usual bane of this forum and community . "The freedom to post and discuss" intersects with unnecessary noise in this case, as always. I'm sure I am not the only one who has inquired about or suggested automatic renewals of the certificates if the Let's Encrypt dashboard has the functionality. There is also the option of using certbot. The question is, which http server and age of OS is in use, as that may or may not be relevant. For example, Trac doesn't necessarily require an http server. Not knowing certain details, including domain registration validity, I can only publicly or privately suggest so much...

A sticky thread collecting all posts about SSL cert. expiration might be good, if someone has the time. Should not have been difficult if you knew the database structure/schema of the forum software.
It's not whether certificate renewal was automatic, but whether website administrators are aware of certificate expiration, and check email from Let's Encrypt.
One simple solution is to make *ALL* DD-WRT SSL certificates to expire on the SAME date AS the FORUM. Then you will always notice an expiration, visually and easily. Then you run a script to renew them all at the same time. _________________ Router: Asus RT-N18U (rev. A1)

If everything were on a single IP (and they aren't), then the ideal solution is to have a single certificate for all domain hosts. There are only two certificates covering, and they are on different dates, as best I recall. Again, more useless noise. Topic is a well-beaten dead horse in the middle of a smoldering trash can fire. Anyhow, I think I have most all of the topics and tickets bookmarked already, so gathering them isn't a problem. The problem is, I could put a flashing sign on the door and people would still ignore it and open a new topic or ticket anyway. And that is where I will end my thoughts.
