Thanks for the explanation, David (and others). Yes, I did have to log
in, as it's been several months since I visited the site. I guess that
was what was different between my visit to the site and others who did
not get the certificate warning.

A bit of misinformation in the thread.
The certificate is used when you click "Login" as it directs the site
visitor to https://www.contesting.com/user/login so whoever said
there's no HTTPS/SSL isn't correct. If you are logged in, log out and
try to log in. If you aren't logged in, whether you have an account or
not click Login and you'll see the alert. Changing browsers has no
impact on this.
The certificate is not expired as it is valid until the end of the
month. The warning is because the certificate is associated with
eham.net <http://eham.net> and not contesting.com
<http://contesting.com> and it's a mismatch on the domain name. I'd
guess contesting.com <http://contesting.com> is hosted on eham's host.
Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it though the contesting.com/eham
<http://contesting.com/eham> folks should correct it. The cert will
expire in 11 days so when they get a new cert, maybe they can also
correct the common name so contesting.com <http://contesting.com> is
included.
