Pete everytime I go into my Message Inbox, or try to do anything in there (e.g. delete a message) this pops up;

Any ideas?

Haven't heard from anyone else on this & it doesn't happen to me .,....

Would guess it is something on your machine .... Note the site - nothing to do with SimV or it's advertisers ..

I've run all my spy-ware and ad-ware software and checked the system is clean.
It only comes up when I enter my inbox... I'm flummoxed!

the site itself is not currently active ozzy. Maybe someone tried sending you a picture through your PM's and they linked it from that site?

Same happens here. The obvious answer is to ask Dano21 to remove his sig or upload the image here. It's against forum rules to link images to other sites. I would have thought a forum regular like Dano would know that. Roll Eyes

It's not a big problem. You can view the thread if you click Cancel. I imagine it's the same for your Inbox if he sent you a PM.

I'm just glad it wasn't spyware

ISSflareman is the problem this time. His signature links to the site asking for the passwords. Again this is why Pete doesnt like pictures to be linked, but uploaded.

This is absolutely right ..... once things are outside a site's control anything is possible including password request on simviaiton, spyware & even viruses from the host site. Keep things here - it can all be resolved within a few minutes of it coming to my attention & we know there is nothing invasive going on Roll Eyes

Though this seems to be OK now - just checked the thread & no problems my side ... thanks guys!
