Just the one breast was enlarged though.

Timster, whats up?

Explain what's happening when you try to log in. I have no issues and I log in from about 8 different devices and have no problems.

Occasionally the system does log me out - this sometimes happens after the hosting company have done some shizzle.

Do you check the "Log me on automatically each visit" box?

It's only ever asked me the trick question when I've logged into the Admin Control Panel.

I have had a similar incidence to Tim.

I have attempted to log in and I am told that I have tried and failed on a number of occassions and I now have to answer further questions. This is despite it being my first and only attempt to log in.

Chill Tim,

Your attitude for no reason, gives me the shits. If you aren't going to be helpful and explain, then shut the fuck up, If I haven't described what your case was to cause your outburst then try using English instead of swear ease, cunt.
Bah!

I'll have a look at the board software, it happened once to me when I was going into ACP. The questions are there to stop bots registering not to keep us lot out, is R-B about?

I think the only thing that happened one time on a log in to me was that "captcha" crap. But before and since that one time I get in without any problems.

It looks to me like there are spammers taking our log in names and having multiple attempts to crack our passwords, thus taking us beyond our "maximum log in attempts." This forces us to go by the catchpa system again.

It's keeping us safe but does occasionally mean we have to answer a catchpa question to log in.

Tim, while I appreciate your frustration, and the frustration of others who have had to put up with this, please put the blame where it is due. This is something malicious inflicted on the board by spammers, it's nothing to do with you personally, your membership of the board, or any software the board uses.

Bloody hell! I explained the problem above! LOL!

The Stopster has it exactly correct. I was merely frustrated after a long day. Nothing personal.

And after the fourth time of asking me to read the seventh word in the question, and was the moon landing a real event and does Steve really blow editec; I had had enough.

OH! And did the Hen really call me a "cunt?!"

No fucking way! Really?

Well bugger me raw and pink! WTF? Apology indeed. Fuck that! Even Cali has not been privy to THAT distinction.

Fuck an Apology. I am going to wear it as a Badge of Honour!

The Few, the Proud, the Cunts! Step up your game Slackers! Not given-- Earned! :fu

Indeed@ :ok 8-)

I love you Hen! Sorry to have caused you stress love. Twas not me intention! The stress was mine. {I didn't have the good Drugs did I? } I had no right to pass it on to you in your fragile recuperative condition. I am the one to apologize. Sincerely. I can be an insensitive brute at times. But I mean well. Peace be well~ 8-)
