I am no expert, but if no one responds by tonight, can you zip it and send it.

I'll have a look tonight when I get in.

Appreciated :)
 
PS If I go directly to the folder not using the above url then the user/pass works.. so it must be the url

See original message.. its when you click on a thumbnail your supposed to get a user/pass to view the image .. ta :)
 
Emulating an iPhone 7 on Edge Windows 10 you get this.
HTTP401: DENIED - The requested resource requires user authentication. GET - http://www.kipax.com/gallery/albums/SCHOOLS_BD/5390/023_1838_2573_sd_wed.JPG
You get the same error in Edge on its own

My guess is that the browsers are refusing to show you a username/password prompt over an HTTP connection and you need to move to HTTPS but I may be wrong.
 
Worked fine on iPhone, iPad and Safari - Firefox wasn't that happy to open it for me (on a Mac).

I know that is not helpful as such.. but just thought to report what I got here.
