Maximum number of login attempts = 1?

Post by Brus »

This morning I logged into C&F and, on the very first login, was informed I had exceeded the maximum number of login attempts and had to enter a "captcha" in additional to my userid/pw in order to log in, which I did.

Yes, on the very first login!

Is there something going on here?

Hi Brus, that's odd. No, we're not aware of a problem with the board or with your account. Maybe try deleting your Chiffboard cookies and see if the problem recurs. If so, let us know.

This morning when clicking on an email notification link, I got a window on the forum saying:
"You are not authorised to read this forum."

I still do clicking that link.
I paste it here:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=95119&p=1121547&e=1121547
(a notification of a post by MTGuru himself, but it seems that the system generated the wrong post number)

This has nothing to do with login problems, I was automatically logged in just fine, but still, maybe something odd is going on in the forum system bowels?

I don't know what the e parameter is, but if you take them off, it points here, which is viewable:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=95119
But yeah, C&F post # 1121547 seems to actually be over in a forum we non-mods don't have access to.
