Getting a weird popup window...

[Guest Jamie]

... with an authentication request. "A username and password are being requested by https://tmail.utk.edu. The site says: "tmail.utk.edu""

It's coming when I click on the thread in the general forum "Springfield 30% off sale".

I've run my virus checker here locally on my machine, and don't turn up anything, so I'm wondering what's going on here with the forums.

Any ideas? Is it here, or do I have a hidden bug on my machine, fishing for info?

Oh, and it doesn't seem to happen with any other thread in that forum, or elsewhere for that matter.

You're attempting to post in the "SA Sale 30% off" thread I bet. I'm getting it to. My guess is that Erik88 (a UTK student) somehow cross-linked an attempt to post a pic to the UTK server and it requires a log-in.

[Guest Jamie]

Nope, not trying to post on it; it happens when I click on the title to view the thread. Doesn't seem to happen... or didn't last time I tried... when I click on the number for the 2nd pace, straight from the general forum.

me too

[Erik88]

what did I do. Tmail is my email server used by UT. I had to email those pictures to my email and then post them on here.

[Guest Overtaker]

I got it too, just by opening the thread.

eeek sorry guys:tinfoil:

not sure what I did. Promise I'm not spreading a virus that I know of. I think it's because I sent the pics to my email and then copied the image URL

Maybe the black heli's are interfering with your server. You know they are watching...

That's it. It's a request for the password to your E-mail account.... 'cause I don't see any pics.

You'll have to move the pics to a hosting service that's NOT an e-mail, and post the URL for that.

Just discussing this in another thread.

It's happening because Erik has put pix in UT server directory that's not public, ie, his email section, permissions don't allow public view.

It looks like this:

When I worked there, we could FTP to a public viewable storage area of our account, staff had more than students, but both could do it.

Dunno what the deal is over there anymore.

Matter of fact, they didn't nuke my account until 4 years after I left, and being assistant sys op of our Novell network at the time, I could have really stomped that, too, had I wanted.

Erik should just put his password and username on the thread.... Easy fix...
