bouche Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I noticed today that I'm getting an authentication pop-up from something on the site. I just got an email from Davey-boy with the same thing. I'm guessing it may be a google ad, and if that's the case it'll likely be gone quickly.Please post here if you get it and let me know any details. It's also possible that one of the banners is setting it off, and if that's the case, the banner hoster may not be aware that their server is acting funny.If this site was hacked, I would think we'd see some sort of message like "haxxored by L33T b00b7355" or something like that.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Yeah, I was getting something today too - a wide two-field thing, the title of which I didn't recognise but will put here should it come up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I thought this was a going to be a thread about morning wood and other inconvenient circumstances."It's the pleats in the pants.... they're flattering around the crotchal region....

bouche Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 i'm trying to figure out what's doing it, so when you notice it, have a look to see which banner add is showing, or what google links/ad may be showing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Its similiar to a pop up I get at work when I have taken my work laptop home, leave it on and then plug into my network- since I am already logged on to the confuser it makes me enter my network name and password.Its basically a prompt screen for a user name and password.I'll screen shot it when I get it again.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I've seen it too. I'm looking for information on what banner may be triggering it. I haven't got it in a while though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I think I've narrowed it down. Someone's AVATAR is triggering it.It's one of the following:William Schiestel mister slipperyAsparagusstu dogPassedOutGuymeggod_rawkIn this thread these members have no avatar displaying so the server hosting their chosen avatar is not authenticating.I'm zeroing in.

bouche Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 William Schiestel's avatar was pointing to that server. So we're all good. No viruses or hacks happening, just poor avatar management he's now mr. sulu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I traced it myself. William made a dumb comment and that sparked this login issue. He referred to Sheldon Souray as an 'over-priced' defenceman. The guy is a steal at 2.5 million a season. After this year, its going to be a much different story.Way to go Facknuts!
