"You have exceeded your maximum number of login attempts..."

You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempts. In addition to your username and password you now also have to solve the CAPTCHA below.

Gee, that's user-friendly. And that's after I haven't logged in at all for 4-5 days.

Ouch. Forgot your password and/or username more than 5 times trying to put them in eh?

I'm open to suggestions on the setting. I have set it to 5 times but maybe it should be higher?

Were you able to log in after the 5 attemps and the CAPTCHA right away or did you have to wait days after to try again?

Humm... I logged out and got the same thing as well, I was able to log back in but I'll take a look into this...

Ok, here is the low down: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=2115563

I have added a few additional security items as well on my end as per the recommendation in the thread above.

If I could ask members to make sure their chosen passwords are not easily guessable that would be great.

You log in and out????

[jstark47]

I don't log out intentionally, but if I haven't been on the site for a while, I find I'm not logged in when I return.

Tonight the trick question wanted to know a mathamatical question*. (Since I'm here posting, obviously I knew the answer!! )

* Sorry didn't want it posted here.

I think someone is trying to guess your password to gain access to your account (god knows why eh? haha). I would change up your password to something hard to guess.

Looks like the issue is resolved.
