Expired HTTPS certificate for the forums

When I try to access the forums over secure http (i.e. https://forum.sealionpress.co.uk) I get an "expired certificate" warning, indicating that the certificate expired on October 29, 2018.

If I click through, though, everything seems to work fine; and it's a "Let's Encrypt" certificate, which should be automatically renewable for free.

Can this be renewed, and the forums switched to use https by default? (Firefox shows a warning when I go to enter my password on an insecure site.)

So, every time I go on the forums now, whether it be at school or home, I get this following warning:

NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID

This server could not prove that it is forum.sealionpress.co.uk; its security certificate expired 1,126 days ago. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection. Your computer's clock is currently set to Sunday, November 28, 2021. Does that look right? If not, you should correct your system's clock and then refresh this page.
Is there any way to resolve the security certificate issue, @Meadow / @Dom ?
