I was trying to go to their site and I keep getting an error. Is their site down for anyone else?

I keep getting an error

nobody can help you if you dont tell people WHAT kind of error you get. I just tried the homepage and got an error message saying that their SSL key was too weak (?) or something,
ssl_error_weak_server_ephemeral_dh_key

so I changed the url from https to http and viola, it worked.

I got the same error.
I wasn't really looking for help, I was just wonder if this is the case for everyone or just me.

This came up recently in the help room. Someone had trouble with the log in page to purchase KGS Plus. I was able to duplicate the problem. One of the admins said the problem was a result of KGS using a old security standard, and Firefox had dropped support for that standard. Sure enough, if we used a different browser, we did not have the problem.

May I suggest the admins add something about this to the MOTD and/or the EGR room message, with or without more details in the admin announcement help page?
