Access to "Cadillac Database"

[veesixteen]

This a.m. I tried to access the "Cadillac Database" and was asked for a "user name" and "password".  If others have encountered this problem, I'm sorry for any inconvenience.    I am trying to contact the sysop of << car-nection.com >> to find out what is going on and to try to resolve the access issue.

I just got an authentication required message when I clkicked on this thread. Others have gotten similar pop ups according to the forum help section. It only seems to be threads related to your site. Weird?

I should point out that I didn't have to actually enter any data. I just clicked the "X" to close the box and continued. Still though, that's kind of weird.

Yann,

Please make Norm aware that others appear to be getting a similar authentication request when viewing this forum!

From what we can determine, if there is a photo or possibly an avatar hosted over there that is linked to a thread here in the forum, an authentication request to view the image is sometimes appearing here.   A number of people have received this, but I haven't as of yet.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Gita!

Link seems to be working again.  Here's the reply I got to my query to Norm Nicholson, sysop of car-nection.com:

Not a new deal Yann -  a temporary (one hopes) issue which is caused I think by something the hosting company did on the network. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Meantime - happy Thanksgiving!  Norm

I just had the popup request for user ID etc. happen while just clicking on this thread @ 18:19 PM CST.(Nov 27)

I got the same request this morning, 9.00h local time.

No explanation has been received from Norm, but I have not encountered the problem since Nov. 28.  Has anyone figured out the cause? What has my avatar got to do with it? Do I need to create another one? In any case, ALL Cadillac Database images are hosted by "car-nection.com", including any new avatar I might create.

G'day Yann,

I haven't experienced the problem during the past week, so I would say that the problem isn't there any more.

Life is good when there are no problems.

Now, if only I could get my container from the wharf.   Been there since last Saturday.

What is the hold up, Prez?  Customs?

What is the hold up, Prez?  Customs? 

Long story, and none of it my fault.

When completed, I think I will write another book.

Yann,  please read my last two posts in this thread:

There should be no further trouble with your avatar unless you create a new one.

Thanks for your help, Jeff.  Sorry to all those who have been inconvenienced [including me!] by this "thingy".
