1257954 2012-02-09 00:18:00 I have had a deep look at the SSL cert at trademe...

the problem is likely going to be "self signed certificate in certificate chain"

Yep ... understand the first 1/2 of your post Rob ... not a clue about the second half. If the problem is going to be what you say, how or what do I do to correct the problem ??

as far as I can see, it's not your problem.
they have a badly setup SSL cert.

however many browsers wont pickup on this kind of error.
so it maybe that your browser / SSL config is just a bit more secure than others.

1257956 2012-02-09 00:42:00 Thanks for explaining .... I'm able to get on with the wife's computer without any problem. She has Win7 ... I have XP ... but good to note that it's probably not a problem at my end. SP8's (9836)
1257957 2012-02-09 06:32:00 Actually if you are only getting the error on one machine it is a problem on your end.

Trademe might not have done their certificate properly but its your browser's fault for complaining about it.

Be aware that weird certificate errors can be a symptom of a man-in-the-middle attack and such.
