Why?
is someone mining usernames and passwords here?

The server pro.imagehost.biz at pro.imagehost.biz requires a username and password.

Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).
When we finally figure it all out, all the rules will change and we can start all over again.

That's because user "Robert J" used an img link to a pic on their site, but their site requires a username and password to access it, so when it the browser tries to load the pic, it's prompted for username and password.

The offending link is in this post.

Perhaps a mod can delete the post?

I wish to appologise to anyone who was inconvienenced by my post in the milestone thread.

I did post an image link using a plugin (smilies) for firefox. Many others use the same plugin on these forums as well.

Appearantly the server that had the particular image I used has had some changes that require a sign in.

Once again, I am sorry that my post caused anyone concern.
