javascript injection or something

when I post a reply to this thread

describe your "look" for today in four words or fewer

my browser (Safari 10.1, macOS 10.12.4) tries to redirect me to something like "diapernet.typepad.com" and gives me an HTTP basic auth prompt. ¿Qué?

It's a very old image that is on a server now made private. I've killed the link, should be OK now. Thanks much for flagging

Don't know if it's the same kind of thing, but when I try to catch up on the current Trump thread, Firefox throws up a

Secure Connection Failed

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

My current bookmark is from June 8th, so if there is a fishy embedded something in there, presumably it'd be from sometime since then? Sorry, I'm pretty technically unsavvy.... thanks for any help though!

Tried it on another device and quickly got a "page unresponsive - wait or close?" prompt. I fear I could be missing out on major revelations, like maybe someone has finally figured out what Trump's base wants, or why Clinton lost the election.

Now getting "Secure Connection Failed" messages when I try to load all messages in the Billy Joel thread - IT'S BETTER THAN DRINKIN' ALONE: The Official ILM Track-by-Track BILLY JOEL Listening Thread

Thanks mods!
