When I visit this thread a password popup from hixby.com appears. Might this be some hacker who's trying to steal coli members login info? Here's a screenshot:

Looks like some sort of phish attempt. Even going straight to the site asks for a login info. Be careful. They tried the same thing on sohh when a that which shall not be named occurred and they got me. Never log back in unless it's the legit login site. They'll try to trick you by adding letters and words to the end. If it's not thecoli.com, don't give any info. Unless @cook and @Brooklynzson tell us that something is up and they usually fix it tho.

When you look at the source code, you can see that someone hotlinked a picture from hixby.com and since hixby.com requires password authentication to access anything on the site, a password popup appears. This is probably just a coincidence but it could be used to steal login info.

Nothing happens to me when I read this thread.
Anyway, considering you have nothing to do with hixby.com, don't put any login info on that and x' that. Also pay attention to the address bar to see if it really says states thecoli.com. Sometimes phishing attempts looks like the website you're trying to connect to but with a bogus address.

I'm sure its suppose to be a picture thats suppose to load for an ad. I found something similar to this on another site & it was happening with Ebay instead of hixby.com. I'll link it when I get a chance, I'll have hixby.com blocked though.
