i'm getting this annoying thing too. I bet it has something to do with the upcoming update.

I got that too. I put in my username and password, but it keeps popping up. It is very annoying, I do not know how to get rid of it.

See. MyLot set a timer of inactivity, it start when we start to type. Its either we type fast enough to beat it or enable the the remember me option in FF(I haven't check yet with IE on how to do this). It is really annoying but I am pretty sure that this is for our protection, so that malicious individuals would not exploit the open sessions of myLot users.

That I have never experience yet. I never have timed it yet. But if we login back all our inputs are still there, I receive an alert a while ago about a scheduled maintenance and I think they just did. So maybe you experienced it during those time.

I think everyone has seen this, there are several discussions on this including my own. I hope that it gets fixed soon and I have sent mylot a message about it!

You are not alone in this situation my friend. I actually responded to a lot of discussions with this kind of topic. More and more members are complaining about this problem. And I guess mylot admin already has something to say about this problem. I don't think this is good if this is some kind of a security feature. KEEP SMILING = NEIL

I saw a lot of discussions similar to mine within minutes after i posted mine (there weren't any when i started typing!) It seems to be fixed now. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Yup!! I had tat problem too for a while, and then MyLot went down. It seems to have stopped now, and I hope the problem never comes back. It was annoying the crap out of me while it was going on.

Hello! I have not seen a popup yet. Sometimes, when I finish responding to a discussion, I was asked my password and username before submitting it. That's because I wasn't allowing Internet Explorer to save my information on the computer, so, if I stayed out for like half an hour and came back, myLot wouldn't remember me. But now, this popup thing is new for me. What is it like? I mean, suddenly a new small box open asking for your username and password? Respectfully, Munhozmib.

Yes it was a pop up box asking for the user name and password. Its gone now it only lasted 2 or3 hours the day i originally posted. Thank you for taking the time to respond!
