    Wierd error message!
    I just got the following error message in a pop-up that had a place for me to enter my user name and password. I am pretty sure it is coming from the site hosting the pics that are supposed to be there but did not show up for me. However, I am concerned that if I'm wrong about that assumption, then who knows what it is and what dangers it may pose. Even if I'm correct about that assumption, other users here may not realize that, and enter their user name and password for bp.net, and who knows if that website can/should be trusted with that info.

    Here is the quote of what the error message said:
    Quote:

    A username and password are being requested by http://www.b-p.org. The site says: "b-p.org"
    Also, it came up when I was trying to view this thread;

    It may have been just a malicious website trying to steal info from you, and not a real error message. In fact I'm sure that is what it was.

    Well, I am leaning strongly in that direction as well, but since there is a link to that malicious website in a post here, I thought I should let people know.

    Hi,

    It's ok folks. :)

    That's the site brandon was hosting the picture in the first post on.

    The picture is shown as not available but he seems to have changed the settings to require authorisation.

    To prevent the pop up I will turn it into a broken link.
