Climate change may have been a factor in pushing the animals to extinction, Steadman says, but it took humans to push them over the edge

Ok, when I open this thread I get the following pop-up window:

The server www.phil.fak.uni-duesseldor.de:80 introduction module I requires a username and password

It gives me a login screen. Weird.

Read my #145, do you get the same thing when you open this thread?

I got some kind of popup on page one, I believe it has to do with one of the posted graphics.
