What is that site exactly that prompts me for my HN username and password when I click on Like? Needless to say, I will not be doing what it asks for unless the site is news.ycombinator.com itself... but then the real HN should already know that I am logged in. So, sorry, it's a no go.
- abraham 15y agoIt is just an iframe so if you log into news.yc.com the popup will not ask for your username:password.
- huhtenberg 15y agoThis is what I get - http://i55.tinypic.com/zk5nc2.png http://i55.tinypic.com/zk5nc2.png. Note the lovely domain names sprinkled all over the popup, none related to yc.com. The iframe indeed points at news.ycombinator.com, and I have a HN cookie, so I have no idea why it shows the login form.
- abraham 15y agoNot sure why it isn't working for you. Mine works and I never had to enter my password in the popup. I do have chrome automatically redirect http://news.ycombinator.com http://news.ycombinator.com to https://news.ycombinator.com https://news.ycombinator.com so that might be doing it.
