    Strange thing when viewing models thread

    What might be the reason for the popup window that I got few times when I viewed models threads ?

    In English it says something like:
    "Connect to earnsoftware.com
    Server earnsoftware.com at Abbywinters.com Messageboards-LogIn requires username and password.
    Warning: This server asks username and password to be send unencrypted."

    Obviously I didn't send any information, as it smells like spyware fishing login information. Do any of you know what this is about ? Seems it is time to put my spyware programs scanning again.

    Please specify thread. I did fix that problem in several threads, it results from a directly linked smiley image. You should indeed NOT enter any username/password information concerning AW in ANY popup box, AW doesn't use popup boxes.

      It was at least on Sammie's and Ashley's threads.

      Though it seems have disappeared now, thank you Frans.
