I tested uninstalling IE8 and installing the latest download from Microsoft. The same result. The popup still appears twice both at sign in and sign out. Sure, it's a Beta version and maybe I am being prematurely frustrated here, but Internet Explorer is the most used browser and version 8 will in a relatively near future be the standard IE version.
In some cases it's even worse. When I visited Network Solutions' website the popup appeared directly on their index page without even trying to sign in! I'm pretty sure the people at Network Solutions are not happy about that. The problem may in practice not be so serious for large, well-known and trusted sites like google.com and networksolutions.com but sites using Google App Engine are generally not as well-known, and when users are attacked by a popup with the title "Security Alert" that may make many of them afraid to continue loading the page on lesser known sites. I was thinking about posting a thread about this on the IE8 beta newsgroup but that would be like trying to teach a pig how to sing: it only wastes your time and irritates the pig. Just kidding! :-) I'm sure the people working at Microsoft know how to develop software, and hopefully they will remove this popup 'feature' in the real version of IE8. At least they should consider changing the title of the nasty popup to something other than the alarming title: "Security Alert". --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
