I just renewed my subscription for year 3 yesterday, paying with a credit card.  Today when I logged on I got a security warning from my Firefox browser.  Seems OTF's "security certificate" expires today (4/9/26) and it would be possible for someone to spoof you and, as the warning below says, steal cc info etc.

This should be easy enough for your sys admin to fix by renewing the security certificate.  I'm bringing it to your attention because others will likely see it as well (and because I just paid with a credit card yesterday, so being a little careful).  People may or may not see the warning, depending on their browser and security settings.

Here's a screen grab of the warning - if you want more details let me know.
