Constant 'secret question' requests

[Alkali]

I keep getting hammered with a screen that tells me to enter my secret question every time I try and reply or open a board Its getting very annoying, is it just my computer somehow?

 

[thomsbrain]

it's happening to me, too. i'm gonna do a 5 point exploding heart technique punch on someone if it doesn't stop.

 

[Bassyhead]

happened to me, too. i chose the second option (with the fav pet name i think) and it seems to have stopped bugging me

 

[silverpig]

Same with me. It's really bothering me.

 

[Flashram]

Same here.

 

[Freejack2]

Baah, same here. I get the impression that it was a nightmare to do this upgrade.

Clear your cache and can your cookies Seems to have worked for me...

 

[littlezipp]

It's a very bad idea to have mother's maiden name as a security question on a computer forum. That info is used to check security for a lot of financial data--credit cards, bank accounts, etc. It shouldn't even be an option here.

Ah, nothing like a healthy dose of paranoia.

Personally, I love answering the same question over and over. Change is good.

 

[nippyjun]

There should be other options beside maiden name and pet name. Maiden name is bad for security and some people dont' have pets.
