A login promt randomly appeared when reading the 2nd page of "Top five films of all time?" topic in MFC. I would've ignored it but so far it's popped up every time I've been to that one page. Here's a screenshot:
I doubt it's spyware in the circumstances but it's not impossible. Just posing the point in case this happens to anyone else.
Oh yeah, browser is Firefox.
EDIT: Identified.. it seems to be Musou Mugen's avatar/sig after I matched the url in the message through viewsource...
Hm, guess it's not a problem anymore so much as a minor annoyance.
it's possibly an image in someone's sig/avatar that's causing this. it's happened before a few times.
Edit: yup, i was right. it's Musou Mugen's personal photo and icon that's causing the problem. i can't edit the post and turn off their icon however.
Heh... ^^ Seems so. *points to edit* Not ever seen it before mind you... That's what you get for hotlinking from a site you don't own I guess..
*nods* looks like the site is either gone down or has blocked images.
it isn't spyware from what i can see, so don't worry. ^^
Er... I wish I came here before posting about another of Musuo's little excursions in Staff. :
i wondered why you'd posted that, psx.
it should be sorted now, as i PMed him to take down his icons. *has a lookie* oo
Edit: either he's forgotten to disable his personal photo, or ezboard doesn't change your picture in older posts.
"Edit: either he's forgotten to disable his personal photo, or ezboard doesn't change your picture in older posts."
Neither changing the personal photo nor disabling it are retroactive. The former I know for certain, the latter I'm fairly sure of since I marked my personal photo private yet it still shows up in my old posts (well, it would if the link actually worked).
No, Ezboard doesn't change your icon in older posts when you adjust it.
