Being asked for authentication if i use the dark theme

Just had something strange happen. When i went to ats i was greeted with this



Every page i got to it brings it up,but if i change the theme to the 'white' theme its goes away ??

I am having this happen also! Everything I click on is making me put in a username and password. I keep cancelling it, and it will pop right back up with the next thing I click on....Also it stays on the white backround

I got asked for a pass word too I just refreshed and now everything is white! Even if i toggle the dimmer button still white and gray. What the crap happened?

Yea same here and the username and password it wants isn't your board username and password. It is the one that was sent u2u when they were testing the new format. I just had to reenter my credentials. I assume the reason for this is because they just changed the color of the banner at the top, but it's still annoying. If it has to be there, can we at least make it so it accepts your board username and password?

seems to be fixed now

Arghhhhh, it's so annoying! Me too, every page now is asking for credentials.
Before that i was hitting a lot of 503/504 pages.
Fix it already, please

I am frightened.

Possibly the NSA log in

I just got this 30 mins ago but seems ok now...weird

Whenever you see that (anywhere not just here) just back up and refresh. It goes away, It is probably not man-in-the-middle in this case but, it could be so NEVER type your info in.

If you have, change your passwords.

Was this added to this thread?

I got it too just now+assumed I got logged out so I entered my ATS username+password but it still would'nt go away-then suddenly it was fixed up.Lots of strange things going on these past 2/3 days with ATS+my photographic site too-and BBM(blackberry messages between me+my oldest daughter had weird glitches also-my husband has been having problems too,idk,lot of problems.

I received the same message. Logged out of ats and relogged in and it working now except my reply is in a HUGE font. Strange!

I didnt know that thread existed or if this was a problem relating to the new UI.

I just posted it here to bring it to the attention of the staff as soon as possible seeing it was a bit more than a display problem.

But if I change my password,won't they just get hold of the new one anyway? Besides the NSA knows me as well as I know myself,by now,anyway,of that I am quite sure.Would there even be a point to changing the password?

What kind of file is that? Explain as you would to a 5yo.

I experiencend it as well. Funny, cause the first thing I thought was hacker attack to. I just refused it, cancelled it and it seemed to resolve itself.
