Only issue I can see, is that you don't have a valid SSL certificate. Can't help with that, but perhaps you could ask your host for assistance?
FYI, it works just fine if you replace https with http in your url. You SHOULD fix the certificate though, and after that I would suggest fixing all paths and urls in SMF to use https.

Oh, ok...   that's not an error.  From the way you described it, it sounded like you got an actual error code/message.

That's a misconfiguration.

1- what is your site configuration setting for the URL? (www or not-www?) How are you ACCESSING the site? (Using the same www or not-www?)
2- what is your site configuration setting for http vs https? How are you ACCESSING the site? (http or https?)
3- As Lex mentioned, your site is missing a valid certificate - which means that attempts to access https will not allow graphics, etc because your certificate is not valid and thus the browsers will reject those when accessed using https

4- confirm that your theme settings (paths and urls) are correct and match your site settings -- again, www/non-www and http/https

5- add a forced redirect in your htaccess file in order to make sure that everyone is redirected to the correct url

The problem is that modern browsers (and SMF actually) assume https, if you link to forumwebsite.net the assumption is it starts with https, but you do not have https configured, and your forum is set to use http.

Only issue I can see, is that you don't have a valid SSL certificate. Can't help with that, but perhaps you could ask your host for assistance?
FYI, it works just fine if you replace https with http in your url. You SHOULD fix the certificate though, and after that I would suggest fixing all paths and urls in SMF to use https.

There is also a small issue with www versus non www, your server tries to serve the same content on both urls, but the forum is actually configured to use www.
So, you should link to www.forumwebsite.net instead of just forumwebsite.net

i still got error..

i try both from non to www and www to non.. but all fail still..

i prefer the non for more easier pronounce without the www..

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]


this .htaccess fail.. do you have .htaccess code?

if you prefer non-www, then use it...
you need to remove the www from the URLs in your forum configuration for the site, for the themes, for the avatars, for the smileys, for the attachments, etc...

you need to get a valid security certificate. I can't even get to your site, because my work computer blocks sites with missing or invalid certs.
