No, my password wasnt stolen, I clicked on a link sent to me that was a link to the forums (or appeared to be) to look at a illegal thread(supposidly)...and they were able to retrive my cookie somehow

... so your password was stolen.
Duh.

You as supermod should know what a real link looks like.

No, I talked to Unixmad about this, he said they didnt get my password, and I never accept links unless I know and trust the person excpet forum links where someone is wanting me to check a post....I looked over the link, it looked just like a forum link, and even pulled up a forum page....

I saw the link.
It led to a script that was clearly distinct from showthread.php.
It contained no threadid.
It more or less clearly had an incomplete html tag.

Does not look really valid to me.
Yah, of course the problems is the buggy forums code, but the password was stolen nevertheless.

You know, Loriel...not everyone can read html, or code, or script like you can. I made a mistake, end of story...
Most of the time, I can tell....and I have never had anything like this happen before, and it never will again because I will click on no links what-so-ever

I unbanned them but we'll make a help page on the "Access denied" page to explain how to get rid of the AOL or any other ISP caches.

Good idea, maybe I will quit getting a million AIM messages about it
