When I click on a thread, I keep getting a pop-up window to sign in to msn passport.net or something like that.

What gives?

Never seen that! What ISP and browser are you using? I don't have any popups on the forum other than the PM notifications. Definitely nothing related to MSN!! Must be another of Bill's attempts to take over the world... :roll:

Adios,

Try using Mozilla, the problem might go away. And you can still sign onto sites with passport if you use that account. I use IE for getting updates and a few sites that require that browser. Firefox for everything else.

I get it at work using IE. I think it has something to do with passwords and passports ability to act as a manager. Like I'd trust Mr. Gates with passwords. Never have it using Firefox at home. BTW, there is newer even more secure Firefox out:

Well, I think it may be related to someone's avatar. It only happens on twtex and doesn't happen on all threads or all pages in a thread.

FwVic has an avatar that shows to come from MSN in the "Pie Run III" thread (http://www.msnusers.com/usvbrp7eci09qhjg69nvjg7d14/Documents/avatar.jpg)
Everyone elses on the page I looked at uploaded theirs. I wonder if that is the issue?

Now that is annoying! Sometimes I just wanna smack ol'Bill and the croonies that work for him :roll:

Are you getting it all every thread Kidder? Or on just a few?

Adios,

Just a few. I'm not getting it on this thread. I guess I'll have to do some more sleuthing.

FWVic's avatar is trying to link to this. I get a red X.

Oops, sorry didn't see your post above. I've had a rough day at work. HDD crashed, etc., etc.

Time to crack open a cold one. :chug:

I get a red X also but no popup to log in to MSN.NET.
I have the .NET framework but do not use MSN...
I also am running XP SR2 which may have some effect.

It's those Victory riders - they cause all the trouble! :-P
