Sitemeter Notification Bug
— Ace

I've asked pixy about this -- is it malware, or goofy stuff with Sitemeter? We think it's goofy stuff with Sitemeter.

But either way, don't enter your authentication for SiteMeter. For one thing, you don't have the password. For another thing, there's no point entering any passwords in any box you didn't open yourself!

Just close the box and move on.

7 Of course I'll do what you say but I have no understanding of what you are saying. I need a computer condom?

8 It came weeks ago then tonight twice!

Posted by: sickinmass at June 25, 2012 06:28 PM (bcNec)

I had the Sitemeter popup appear on a couple of other sites, and ones not related to Ace, minx.cc or .mu.nu.

A thorough check for malware might be a good choice.

10 "Just close the box and move on."

Is this a euphemism for something smutty?
I feel like a nun at a cocktail party.

12 What in the heck is a computer condom?

Posted by: macintx at June 25, 2012 06:31 PM (ucs8Y)

13 ... and the Sitemeter popup appeared again, when I clicked on the Ace banner to return to the main page.

Posted by: Arbalest at June 25, 2012 06:31 PM (tyYO6)

14 Type "Pics or it didn't happen" for password and it goes away.

Posted by: sickinmass at June 25, 2012 06:33 PM (bcNec)

15 Patterico's site is doing it too.

16 Does this authentication immediately precede a SWAT......

20 Thank goodness you told me. I am in hotel at the moment and I thought somebody was trying to hack in. I feel better now.

22 If a box presents itself to me, it gets filled. That's just the way I roll.

23 You're not my real mom!!!! OK, that worked.

26 You will NOT close the box!

28 I didn't get it until I refreshed this thread, and then it popped up.

The box asking for my information also came up.

30 Hah, I am sending out dick pics from ace's site meter

Posted by: robtr at June 25, 2012 06:46 PM (MtwBb)

31 This happens for images and stuff on servers where the files permission, or more likely the folder it resides in, is not set to allow vanilla Internet access.

32 Ah, a new, innocent

Yes. Yes. That's me. Delicate flower, shy and retiring and all that jazz.

33 Just got a phone call from someone who said they are with "sitemeter" if that means anything. I denied everything.

Posted by: Hopped up on Something at June 25, 2012 06:48 PM (KhqoV)

34 we have to touch the box to know what is in the box right?

Posted by: Thunderb at June 25, 2012 06:50 PM (Dnbau)

36 I only wanted a look inside the box, not touch any sacred objects.

39 Stay out the boxes

Posted by: J Jackson at June 25, 2012 06:53 PM (bcNec)

40 Alex the Chick someone suggested you be the new site meter maid

But I don't have a site meter maid outfit. I only have this French maid one.

Posted by: alexthechick - SMOD 2012 at June 25, 2012 06:54 PM (Gk3SS)

41 Leaving Gateway Pundit on my way to Land of the Ewoks, I got that stupid Site Meter. Sounds like Big Sis and her merry band of malcontents...

43 Oddly enough, I didn't get it on this thread.

Posted by: rickl at June 25, 2012 06:59 PM (sdi6R)

44 its less a bug, more of a feature, what with the little uniforms and all

Posted by: Thunderb at June 25, 2012 07:01 PM (Dnbau)

45 I ran a PC Cleaner deep scan just in case and it has gone away. Is it live or is it pixyware?

Posted by: Ohio Dan at June 25, 2012 07:01 PM (JKNDp)

46 YOU can do better than that. Slacker.

I'm sorry. *hangs head in shame* In my defense, I'm really really lazy.

Posted by: alexthechick - SMOD 2012 at June 25, 2012 07:02 PM (Gk3SS)

47 It's back. Think I will call it a night.

Posted by: Ohio Dan at June 25, 2012 07:02 PM (JKNDp)

I've been feeding the Sitemeter popup ... with selected Spam URLs.

I have a few hundred spams, and I occasionally look through the headers for e-mail addressesand URLs.

I wonder if they keep tarck of each other ...

... something tells me that they will start ... soon.

61 "In a three-sentence news release, Jackson's office disclosed that the Democrat went on leave June 10 but did not provide further details, including how long he would be away. In the release, he asked that his family's privacy be respected."

Is it just me or is there a national exhaustion epidemic plaguing the nation? Weeks?

62 The "Sitemeter" guy called back. I told him I couldn't talk because I didn't have a telephone and then hung up. I think he bought it.

Because of trolls screwing with formatting, the HQ cut out the HTML to the bare bones: italics, underscore, bold and strike-through using brackets sample [ i ] [ /i ] (without the spaces).

85 U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.Â’s office disclosed Monday that the veteran Democratic congressman has been on medical leave from Congress for the past two weeks and is being treated for exhaustion.

The 17-year Illinois congressmanÂ’s office declined to say where he was being treated or when he is expected to return.

A statement issued Monday was the first public disclosure that Jackson has been on medical leave since June 10.

It is NOT malware. The same thing popped up on my Windows Phone. This after the unknown links in comments leading to shady sites a few weeks back. All occurring after a certain someone declared war on 1st amendment.

Hate to sound over the top but just detailing personal info or even quantitative info on the number of patrons to a targeted site would make for a good court case. (IE these/this many people visited this site with truthful but damning evidence about this person)

Ace, I'd take the previous with a grain of salt but the precautions of someone who poked a bear.

Posted by: Politifact at June 25, 2012 09:50 PM (WJ/23)

93 Sitemeter? Geez, welcome to the '90s. Well, it fits with the rest of the design and functionality of this site. Someday I hope "pixy" figures out the scrap of code that allows comment modules to truncate long URLs so we don't have to paste tinyURLs all the damn time. Maybe in 2020.

Posted by: babygiraffes at June 25, 2012 11:14 PM (h0KX8)
