Hello KG admin
Couldn't get onto site this morning for a few hours. Did you have a good long lie in this morning!! Everything OK now though.

There was a problem with the site, but Jason (KG Admin) being his usual genius self, sorted it all out in no time. :D

Morning Jason, my wise fellow.
When i came to use the forum this morning, i had been logged out, tried to log in, but on the first attempt it said i had tried too many times and that i had to enter a code.

It worked o.k, but then i wondered if i had done the right thing.

Your thoughts will be welcome. :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Hi OH

The same thing happens to me. A lot. I asked Jason and he said

It's on going hack attempts.

Nothing we can do apart from try and track the address of those attempting to login multiple times - and ensure everyone's password is secure.

I've had to enter the capture twice this week too, so I know the admin account is being probed too.


We just have to live with it and no, it's not just you :wink:

Thank you Chantal - and yes that is the problem. I popped up a guide to security if it helps any.

Thank you both for the replies, very reassuring indeed, but i don't feel quite as special now i know it's happening to others. :wink:
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
