Gallery requires password? What's up with this?

[jlw]

I just now logged in to RFF and, as I usually do, scanned the "Random Gallery Images" that appear on the home page. I decided to click one for a closer look -- and was taken to a page stating, "Forum requires password" with a blank for entering one.

I entered my normal RFF password -- despite the fact that I had just logged in with it and that I was seeing "Welcome, jlw" at the top of the page, indicating that I was logged in -- but the password didn't "take."

I went back to the home page and tried clicking some other random gallery images, and was able to view all of those.

What's up with this? Are there restricted galleries that aren't open to viewing by all members? And if so, what's the point of having them appear in the "Random Gallery Images" section?

Incidentally, the link to the image I tried to click was:

it's a glitch in the sytem. the thumbnails show even though the photos are in a private album.

That explains it. Sheesh, I didn't even know there were private albums on RFF. Guess that's where you Premium Members keep your p0rn, huh? 😛

Be sure I don't have access to that stuff either...

glitch in the system also occurs occasionally on images which are in a public folder, but for some reason viewed as private. *shrug*

anyone can have a private album, not just paying members.
