login issue

#1 Post by sc racing » Thu Dec 30, 2010 10:17 pm

The last few times I tried to log in it says Ive exceeded the number of login attempts. I have to put in my user name then password and type in the "secret code". Any idea why?

Doing it to me also. Try deleting all board cookies here - ucp.php?mode=delete_cookies see if that will fix it. If that don't do it, I'll have to do some digging around.

I was able to login today without any problem. I just did the "delete cookies" and logged in again without a problem.

There is a check box below the password when you log in to allow you to stay logged in.

Hey John,

It's happening to me as well.

One time it works fine, the next time, I get the exceed message and have to answer the special question.

Is it ok to stay logged in?

Are you choosing the checkmark that says "Stay Logged in"? If you don't want to log in each time you visit, check that box when you log in.

If you are checking that box when logging in, but find that you're having to redo it every time you visit, then something else is going on. In general, it should be working ok, (it is for my account and most others. However if you have something on your computer interfering with the "Stay logged in" cookie, like a anti-virus program or something, then it may be requiring you to log back in every time.
