[rt-users] User prompted for authentication when opening new tabs

[Michael Ellis]

Yeah, I left that out intentionally becase I can't confirm it's not  
happening in multiple browsers.

He's one of those people who say it happens everytime, even though  
when he tries to show you it only he has to do it a dozen times before  
it manifests.

He claims it's happening in both firefox and IE, but I've only seen it  
happen in IE 7.

I'll check if he's using incognito or inprivate or whatever, though.  
He just might be.

Thanks,

Mike
