"Your account has temporarily been locked due to failed login attempts."

Is anyone else seeing this message?

I get it all the time on my iMac, less so on my Windows laptop, but enough to be seriously irritating on both. Cache cleared in each case, shortcuts/bookmarks cleared, time allowed for reset, and different routes to the forum tried via Google. Some time ago I asked if there was any suspicious activity on my account and was told there wasn't. Is this a common problem, or are the servers being programmed to give me a persecution complex?

The site is getting upgraded but yes, I have seen it.

Find your cookie for SM and delete them, go to the site and re log in and remember me usually fixes it.

Cheers Matt. If you're aware of it do you want to delete the thread?

I normally just use my phone, never seen it. Probably remains logged on though.

Ok, I would wait till the forum upgrade is complete then dump your cookies for SM and login and remember me again. Its happening shortly.

I cleared my cookies and received the same message... I substituted my email address + password for my username + password and was able to login.

Sure it’s not your air filter again, this time causing the error messages on the forum

I would just like to point out that I have no links to cutlery of any kind.....

 

[DLax69]

Yup. Same here, on Firefox on a Windows-based PC...but I live with it because I am a masochist.

Wait.

Dots connecting...

 

[conaero]

Ok I will look into it

 

[DavidL]

As Matt knows, had this on Tuesday. It went away. Certainly there was no way I was trying to log in multiple times
