Post by Abrogate »

Is anyone else getting a username/password popup window from obamastore.com when they first arrive at thegiant.com??

It's because of this pic

http://store.barackobama.com/v/vspfiles ... 000-2T.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It used to be able to be linked to, but now it must be in a password protected folder

fixed.

Sorry. Yeah, someone who did the blog post didnt use a local copy of the image, and that one we were using became password protected.

Im a little ashamed that we were hot linking an image, as it steals other people's bandwidth.
I really hate PMs. Please just email me.
