Never mind, it turned out to be a problem on my end.

I only asked if others were getting the same unexpected result that I was getting. It turned out that it was just my computer and there's no evidence or a problem with the DU site.

1. There is something very strange about that link! I am already logged into DU, but when I went to

that link it wanted me to login! Weird! Interesting is, that https://www.democraticunderground.com. with a period at the end brings you to a mirrored illicit? DU site wanting you to login, but you are already logged in.

3. Furthermore

You are correct. If you just go and delete the period after the .com, it suddenly knows who you are.

5. I'm already logged into DU, so without the period at the end DU would come up. If the

period is there, it wants a login. Theoretically, IMO, someone could gather DU logins if some people mistakenly put a period at the end of the URL. My password manager, of course, rejects the site as bogus.

12. I never intended it to be a link! It's just meant to be the text of an error message from NoScript.

There's no point in clicking on it, so don't.

The problem is that brackets get removed and URLs get converted to links by the DU forum software.

15. Yep! Malicious site trying to get DU user ID/passwords. I would love to know who's behind it.

Yep, I used link, I was being sloppy .... knew it was an error message. I'm glad you posted it!

2. Can you tell the rest

of us what that means in English?

4. Don't click the link -- possibly spoofed. Let mods figure it out.

7. K&R!!!!!!!! Especially when it wants a DU login when one is already logged into DU.

9. Exactly, may be someone coding to collect login details.

13. I never intended anyone to click a link, I was just asking a question.

16. Say What????

Do you need a hug or something, geez? This morning, at the time of "this" conversation there was a clickable link with a period after the .com ( "com." ) of DU's url. Lighten up!

6. Very interesting

I have DU set to "keep me logged in on this computer." But at that link, I'm logged out, asking me to log in. Clearly a spoof site. Very insidious. They'll probably catch many people with this, who don't notice the period at the end of the domain.

[RKP5637]

11. Yes, in fact, extremely insidious! n/t
