Just a caution for RT forum readers tonight

[Why Syzygy]

I don't imagine any of the admins are still up to notify. Could it be that someone has posted a pic on that thread that requires logon? Anyone else getting a pop-up? I've closed Firefox three times to determine that it really is this thread and not related to anything else.

The pop-up says:
"A username and password are being requested by http://www.toledo-bend.com The site says "HOSTINGXP"

I've read the thread before tonight, and there was no issue. It's this one:
What sorts of offense do you take in reference to your faith/lack of faith?

1. Wow, I just got it, too.

That's never happened before. Ever. I don't know what it means, but I don't like it. x(

Maybe we need a techie-type person to figure out what this is and what it means?

2. Someone needs to pm Elad.

I posted in the Computer support group. But, it's pretty late. I don't like it either.
Looks phishy.

3. I'll PM Elad.

It could be harmless -- like you said originally, maybe linked to a picture someone wanted to post.

OTOH, phishy things abound on the interwebs these days, so it bears looking into.

4. Okay, I PM'd him.

Maybe he'll let us know what it was when he figures it out.

5. It popped up for me, too, in Safari.

I alerted on the post.

6. Elad PM'd me back.

But, of course, it's stopped popping up now.

Figures.

Whoever was responsible probably saw our little discussion here and removed it... whatever it was.

7. Thanks for taking care of that. I'll go try it now. nt

8. Was that the picture I linked to?

I had no idea that would happen...I use opera and it didn't give me any problems.

I apologize if it gave anyone problems!! Teaches me...I should have uploaded it to my own hosting site, but I was lazy.

9. No. Looks like you're clear.

I could not get into the thread last night without clicking the pop-up. And, that's something I will not do. Looks like the offender was a troll and got his pizza delivery.
