? We bought a cert from Thawte specifically so people wouldn't find that it's suspect. Does it look funny when your browser presents it to you?
I had the same problem, I'm not sure Christopher correctly diagnosed it.
It looks like in Safari, when a Java applet asks for unrestricted access (as opposed to standard) it presents you with the security cert to confirm that you really want it. It says "This certificate is valid", as opposed to "invalid" or "untrusted" or whatever normally comes up.
<http://img38.imageshack.us/i/picture1apq.png/> actually: 1) it's firefox 2) the error is from 'java' (looks like the same error as you get nathan) 3) it says: "This applet was signed by the 'International Computer Science Institute' , but Java canNOT verify the authenticity of the signature's certificate. Do you trust this certificate?" So... java fail, my-reading-skills-fail... -chris
