Everytime i hit my bookmark to login into FTN I get the fake squirrel mail page. Can someone Pm the irc info so i can figure out what is going on?

Searching before posting is a good idea.

they always have that login page. And if you are a member there then only you can see their real stdhead, body, stdfoot etc.

It's supposed to be that way... why don't you login to FTN using that form and contact them there? No need to go to IRC.

if you read the news onsite you can see that they have had a security issues, so you have to login in everytime even if your browser is set to save your login..

They recently scrambled the authkey and passwords of a few members on site as a security precaution after a user sent everyone pm's directing them to a malicious link. If your password was scrambled, you can recover it via email and then log in again.

If password reset email doesn't work and you still can't login, here is the info for the irc support:
irc.darknet-irc.net #ftn-support (Info was already available on http://filesharingtalk.com/what-trackers-offer/)

Doesn't look good, but do go to IRC to know what really happened to your account.

this is what I was talking about



Hey guys,

As you may have noticed, we've set mandatory secure logins for the moment. I'd like to stress that this is only a temporary policy and we're working on a new solution. There's a thread in the forums if you'd like to discuss it further or ask for any other information.

Sorry for the annoyance.
