Title: Pop-Up Annoyance
Post by: Frodo on Sat 15/05/2010 11:21:47
Hey there.   :)

Recently, when I visit Newly Added Games Page (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?category=101) in AGS, I get a weird pop-up asking me for username and password for www.2dadventure.com.   :o

I have a screenshot, but don't know how to attach it here. 

Has anyone else found this?  Is it a problem with the site, or a problem with my computer?   ???

Yeah, seems it's gone down and that some files were hosted there (avatars and the like), hence the username/password box.

Thanks for the quick reply.   :)

But my avatar is hosted at Photobucket, not 2dadventure.
I'm not a member of 2dadventure.  ???

Ahh, I didn't see that, sorry.  
So it's a hosting site?  Judging from the name 2dadventure, I had thought it was a gaming site.   ;)  
And I'm not the only one getting the message then  *glares at all you offenders whohave stuff hosted over there, lol*  

In any case, could an admin merge this thread with the other thread please?  Thanks.   :)


EDIT
My popup looks a bit different from the one in that other thread.  Mines is blue, and it also has the message:
'Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner'

Mine looks different too - I guess it just depends on your browser.

Pop-up is still there.  Could the offenders please remove reference to that site.  Thanks.

This popup is becoming really annoying.   :-\

Since the offenders won't remove references to that site, does anyone know how to block it in IE?
