I rebooted my system and got a really, really odd thing happening when I came to TR afterwards.

The "Join the largest Tech community" dialog box popped up, yet I was logged in already. When I clicked the no thanks, already a member it took me to the login page.
login and the join up dialog box shows up again.

the only way I could get rid of it was to say not interested in becoming a member.

In addition I get a dialog about a Flash script that is causing
system instability. Hmm

MacBook Pro
Safari 3.1.2

Oh Doug! Over here!

with the same results. What is this crap? Why do I even have a persistent cookie if I'm going to get this stuff?

JD broke the site, Doug pulled out the Raid and applied as
necessary.

that damn popup is displayed. It won't go away this time. This is the third time it has displayed. Third machine, too.

I've logged out and back in twice, and the damn thing is still here.

WTF?

by boxfiddler

as I post. Expect a pic.

Voila.

edit to add:
Running Vista Business, FF3 this time. First time it happened, XP FF2. Second time it happened, XP IE7.

that anytime a machine/browser is changed or even a closing of a session may re-trigger this.
This is why I decided only to use this one machine for TR -- funny thing, I think it will be rebuilt soon. There ae a few things about Mandriva 09 I do not like.
but home machine, hmmm, I'll have to think about that one now...

While it seems to be hitting others still, I haven't seen it yet today. :)

Clicked on the 'I'm already a member' and it instantly asked me to log-in. I was sure I already was, but logged-in dutifully THEN it hit again!

It caught me out too. ;) :D

by the scummy one

when I hit the log in screen I backed out and closed TR.
Came back in and got hit again, so I clocked no thanks. got home hit TR and the darned thing popped up immediately, so I closed out and did other things till now. Last smoke before bed -- wanted a quick TR fix :0

All I could see was from "Love at first bite" the quote "With you there are no quickies, only longies!"

But try logging in after you have been away for a while and logged out. You will get the option to Log in and when you do you go straight back to the same pop up.

The first time I thought that it hadn't logged me in till I realized that it was showing Log Out on the Mani Screen and offering me the Log In option on the Pop up.

Apparently if you need to log in it goes into a endless loop offering to log you in after logging you in. However clicking on the No Thanks link allows you to return to what appears to be a Normal TR Experience, 404 and all. :D

I got that last night at home, but never at work. I had to log on 3 times, and finally say I wasn't interested before it went away.

Very annoying.
