Recent development versions of BOINC do not interact properly with the POGS SSL certificate.

The problem with POGS security certificate also apparently affects Firefox version 30.0.

These issues have been posted in the POGS and BOINC forums a number of times by myself and others over the last 6 weeks. They have been referred to Kevin from POGS and Dave from BOINC but so far there has been no response.

For those currently having problems do not use any BOINC version after 7.2.42 and try using a browser other than Firefox.

And anyone experiencing these issues, please keep on posting about this, it is a serious problem and needs attention.

Sun Badgers* question: I signed up for POGS but I never could join my team,Sicituradastra and I tried numerous times. Always the message "server is down" This went on for days. I like my points given to me as a member of Sicituradastra. Why crunch for pogs when I cannot join my own team?

When you posted in their forums about this, have they given you additional details than those links?

Hey Sun Badger,

Apologies for the slow reply. I normally try to be as prompt as possible.
As far as I am aware you are the only person who as had problems join a team recently or at least the only one who has contacted us.

If possible could you help me out with troubleshooting the error.
Were you trying to join the team through pogs.theskynet.org/pogs (ie the BOINC website) or www.theskynet.org (our pre BOINC, custom website).

Regards
Alex
