See Weird Pop-Up Thread. Pop-up asks for your password, BUT this pop-up asked AGAIN for my password after I had already sucessfully logged in the regular way, and after I had posted and read other messages! DANGER, DANGER, Will Robinson!
I think we figured it out that a user had used an image that was previously uploaded to catsailor image database (user/login based). We were all being asked for our password so the system would show us the image. That user seems to have fixed his avatar link - I haven't seen it in a while. Either way, the request seems benign.
I'm still getting it
Me too, Blade1 needs to reset his profile picture/avatar.
If you just click
cancel
it will let you continue in the forum and just won't download the avatar. It's just an additional 1/2 second of wait time until Blade1 changes his profile pic. I think we have all deduced that it is not a phishing scheme or some other harmful intent.
