Just before when I clicked on the Name Change thread the following pop-up / prompt came up...



Can anyone tell me why it keeps appearing? It only pops up when I click on the last page of the Name Change thread, I've click on other threads and other pages of the Name Change but nothing comes up.

Smogon is currently .htaccess protected, so everyone who tries to access the site will get this message.

Someone must use a pic from there in their sig, so this will pop up.
I guess that person has posted in the name change thread.

No you are not.
I get it too and so will others.
Everytime someone opens a page where there is a pic from Smogon in someone's sig will get that message.

Fixed now - I found the picture involved and removed it, so no one should be getting a prompt like that anymore. Though if it somehow happens again, then please tell where it is...

I guess this should be a warning about the dangers of hotlinking to sites, heh.
