While I opened dyslexia's hamburger thread this login pop up box popped up. I haven't seen this before (or ever) here at a2k.

@tsarstepan,
I would worry if I followed their link.

@tsarstepan,
Glitch in cyberspace, that's all. Mercifully, they provide you with a 'cancel' option.

@Merry Andrew,
Sonnuvagun! I just went to that thread to check it out and same thing happened to me -- a uk popup.

@Merry Andrew,
I'm wondering if the site is archived on another server. A server in the UK?

@Merry Andrew,
Do you ever wonder if the "cancel" and close x boxes aren't really links to something you don't want to link to. Some images are set that way, or so I understand.

@tsarstepan,
That would be my guess as well. It requires secure login.

Yeah, I've heard of that technique before. And here, I let my free trial subscription to the Zone Alarm Antispyware program expire 2 days ago.

Someone linked to an image that is password protected and that is prompting for a password. Moderators will edit out these images to prevent this, can someone send a report for the thread where it's happening so one of us can take care of it?
