View Full Version : Authentication Required
Who else is getting this message because it's really pissing me off now & needs to be sorted. I get it every 10 seconds or so & it's asks for me to login to DnB Forum when i'm already signed in. I use Google Chrome & it's so bloody annoying i'm beginning to avoid using this site.
used to get it when i used chrome, so just fuck it off and use firefox.

Opera
Can't believe you all like Firefox. It's the worst i've ever used. I used it for nearly 2 years. Freezing or very slow internet. Crashing 4-5 times a day. No it's not my set-up before anybody asks. It's perfectly fine for everything else. Been using Google Chrome for the last year & ain't had one problem until this.
It's gotta be to do with this site. "The Server dnbforum.com:80 requires username & password"
i use chrome and get same issue but don't think other boards i visit are vb
I still use IE, no problems what so ever.
It happens because Chrome tries to cache pages (to speed up your browsing) you might click on, one of which is the mod/admin areas which are password protected. I'm sure you can switch this off in Chrome but I don't know for sure because I don't use it.

there is nothing better then IE 1 version. fuckin oldskool flava
This message is getting a joke now. Does anybody know how i can turn it off? Or i'm stopping using this site. No i'm not gonna stop using Google Chrome as it works perfectly for everything else & seems a lot faster than all the other browsers.
Use a carrier pigeon for all your internet browsing needs.

You'd rather stop using this site than stop using Chrome? Do you work for google?
Just get firefox, what advantages does Chrome have?

AHAHA so the browser which was crashing daily 4-5 times, you used for how long?
2 YEARS??
sounds like your computer is shit imo.
I should have worded that better. I got rid of it about a week after it began crashing daily. That's why i got rid of it. It worked ok to begin with. Google chrome is so much faster than every other browser i've used that's why i'm sticking with it. No my computer ain't shit. It works spot on for everything. The problem is this site with Google Chrome.

safari all the way
This happens with mine too, fucking annoying. Firefox was pissing me off and I wouldn't even think about going back to IE, I like Chrome, except for this one little niggle.

Ya I was using an old version of Firefox forever, but I was getting really pissed at how slow it was at times and I knew my connection was ok, so I hestitantly upgraded to the new version (I hate upgrading any computer programs in general b/c as time goes on they all seem to go to shit when they get more popular versus the early versions which aren't bogged down with crap, ads, and gimmicks) and as soon as I upgraded to the new Firefox it fucked up my bookmarks and it reverted back to bookmarks I hadn't had in ages and has lost all my new ones, and it was just as slow. So I got pissed at that and uninstalled it and tried to go back to the earlier version and then it totally fucked up and I couldn't even launch Firefox at all without it crashing. I finally got it sorted out, but in the mean time I started using Chrome and it's wayyy faster for me. There's a few things I don't like or think could be improved, but overall I like it more now.
Anyways, to make a long story short, I started getting this login message when I started using Chrome. It's just a compatibility issue I think as I'm sure many sites haven't been tweeked to use Chrome (just as Firefox was in the earlier days).
no one said you cant have multiple browsers in your trousers.
why not have IE, Firefox, Safari & Chrome. its not like they use masses of space on the HD.

Can somebody fix this already? It's really f'n annoying. This is a wicked forum but I've been coming on it less and less cause of this. :rinsed:

even though i use safari ive been trying to figure this out. i reinstalled chrome on my hard drive, went into the browser settings and saved my username and password in there, restarted my computer and the problem seems to go away. sometimes i didn't get this message anyway, so this could be a fluke, worth a try though, seems to have worked.

Exactly. Can people stop suggesting I use some other browser. That's not fixing the problem, is it? If I wanted to use Safari or Firefox or IE or Opera I would. I'm using Chrome, and i'm not switching just because this ONE site is f'd with it, but 10 billion other websites work better for me with Chrome.

Thanks
hey guys,
found this thread cuz im getting this stupid notification as well. but heres the thing... IM USING FIREFOX!! im guessing its something to do with an addon i have installed that is clashing with the board but i dont know what or how to fix it. well i was hoping to find a solution on here but all it seems you can provide is a browser flame war. if any admin or mods can help out here it would be much appreciated.
actually in viewing this thread it hasnt done it to me at all. except when i went to edit my post its now doing it to me and when i am in most other threads the notification pops up
So has anybody figured out how to do this yet?

I'm just going to re-quote myself cause that's the problem.

Read the post above please Tim.
I find it helps if you only have one window/tab open for the forum. Any more than that and the authentication box is harder to close without it flashing up again.

BOLD RED LARGE TEXT MEANS SERIOUS BUSINESS
I have spent the last hour trying to work out a way to resolve the problem, but have yet to succeed. I'll keep trying but I don't think I'm going to find a solution.

Hmmm, have you checked for this topic in the vbulletin forum (http://www.vbulletin.com) yet?
it's that i'm in gran canaria at the mo, and have to pay for (a very limited) internet acces, or i would have searched for it myself... Seems impossible that this topic isn't mentioned over there... :/

Thanks for trying. All I want to know is at least somebody is trying to fix it. Before I used to just pull the pop-ups off to the side, but now for some reason they're even more aggresive (maybe since the new forum layout) and keep popping back up and even interfere with other pages. Like say I have dnbforum open and then i'm posting something on DOA or another site with a text box, when I hit 'enter' to page down a paragraph it won't even let me do it on a different site, and it repops back up. Super annoying. It's pretty much impossible for me to browse on here.

Seems you can join up there but you need to put in your VBulletin account details to post, and I guess that Stu or Mike would have these.

Hmm, yes. They should take a look they're though. Or create a login on the vbulletin forum so mods can search shit on there. It almost can't be not mentioned over there...

The site says: "Protected Area"". and its even more aggressive than on this forum. trying to find a solution turns up absolutely nothing! i am a firefox user. so i installed chrome. still happens with this forum and youtube. now i give ie a try as suggested and no popups. wow. please dont let this be the fix i hate ie

Another vote for Google Chrome here.
Never had it crash once an I have been using it about 8 month, whereas Firefox crashed probably once a week.
I'm just dragging the box to the bottom of the screen and leaving it there, does the trick.
Chrome is better than firefox, because firefox is bug ridden since update. but Authentication Required is really annoying
Apparently Opera users have the same issue
I've just done a quick bit of digging into this issue and I *think* it's a known bug in Chrome:
Google Chrome doesn't work with NTLM authentication. - http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs
We use this type of authentication for some private areas of the website. However I shall investigate further when I get a moment.
happily using chrome for everything, and dnbforum was a niggle with the authenticate box, over last few days (maybe chrome updated ?) everything but the box is darkened until i cancel, then ok until page reloads. PITA but at least its being looked at :)
looks like the server move has solved this issue.

Yeah mate, we're no longer on a Windows Server which means NTLM authentication is out the window.
I'm very pleased the problem is solved!
awesome work mate! im enjoying this so much more already
