That's not what I'm getting Allan.

I get a little pop up box in the center of my screen that asks me to log in with user name and password.

I'm getting that too. But I noticed that link up at the top left corner under the TRF logo. Never saw it before...

What are they about, Leo and why are we getting their pop-up panel? All very odd, especially on TRF . . .

Yes, I had the login / Passwd box pop up several times today & that's odd as
it links back to a passwd protected url from what I could trace - FYI

No we haven't given into advertising.

This is all news to me. If there is some unauthorised activity that is occurring then action will be taken.
But I can't do what I don't know, or understand.
So if someone would like to carefully explain in detail then I will look into it.

Just happened to me while trying to see "new posts."

A small pop up window appeared - over and over again - asking for username and password.

I have not yet seen the pop up however if it is, is this another type of attack on TRF?

How could it get on the site?

Please let me know if this pop-up thing is persisting.
I've personally never seen it

It is a button on the top left side of the page . That takes you to a selection of websites . Or you get a login form from bestwatches.net

Which is selling replica watches of all things . These must be the ones that attacked TRF in the past .

I dug this up about them :
