Site asking for password?

Seamus Colemole · July 23, 2009

I was just looking at the random pic thread and everytime i looked at the last page i got a little box pop up saying "authentication required" from a specific i.p address (that didn't look like mine) and asking for a username and password.

I'm on firefox but ive never seen this before apart from when on sites whihc require a username and password, like trying to access a members only page.

Anything to do with the site or is it my browser playing up?

No, it only happened once.

Happened to me at work today. Also in the random picture thread. Never experienced the problem using my laptop though.

HTTP authentication requested on a thread? huh?

Possibly something to do with one of the pics posted on the most recent page of the random pics thread? Maybe dutchs blank post?

I cant go in the random picture thread without getting abused by this.

Tried deleting suspect pictures. Would take an eternity to find the right one...

Especially as it doesnt happen to me.

Try it now - if it has stopped - Reidy was the culprit.
