have you ever visited a Featured avatars profile and a username/password thingy pops up saying there was an error?
Well those are called phishers, they are used to steal other peoples account Never put your information in them.
Instead of playing the "who posted it?" game, just follow the instructions below to figure it out.
Now I found out that Almost all (Haven't found one that doesn't yet.) of thoes messages say the error came from a url in the message. so I found a simple way to track them down all you do is...
1. copy the url
2. open up the profiles source
3. search for the url
4. then you will find a users comment with the url in it as a image
5. report the user for trying to steal information
6. tell the owner of the profile so he/she could delete it from there comments
I hope this helps people with this problem.
Ok to help understand this more I'm going to make pictures that show what to do...
When this pops up
it says that gaiaonlninesecure.t35 is requesting your username/password, that is the url you copy,
Next you Cancel the pop up...
and do as I show in the next image...
then this will pop up...
then you press ctrl + f and search for the url and you will find this...
you will find in this example that choli11 posted the image, because that is the username shown above the postcontent section...
Then you follow steps 5, and 6 at the top of the page =)
