Jose I found that not checking the box for 'logging me in automatically' helped, maybe because my computer log's me in automatically I don't know.

i've had the same thing on my account.

check the ip vs the attempt in the security logs, see if it matches with any existing members.

I think it may be the problem, I've NEVER had these problems with my accounts on the web with my home PC, at work I checked once automatic logging on another forum and then had similar problems.

I usually log in by clicking on my favourites where its saved and Im straight in . however twice recently I couldnt do this, fiirst when I tried to get in via a friend's I-phone on holiday, and today after the IT man(scary people who wipe things off your computer)cleared up my computer. It should go quicker now :confused: Anyway both times I got the messsage about trying too many times to log on. So why does this happen???? :confused: :confused: :confused:
