All the best,

But I am still logged into the forum and when I clicked on the IP address (hidden above) it actually took me to the BCUK home page. Was this somebody testing something?

This happened before, I seem to remember it was due to a conflict between the main site and the forum software. Have no fear its not someone trying to hack in to you account.

He he, sorry guys, to start with I thought it was a hack attempt but it's the bridge not liking some tweeks. How it works is that the forum gets the front end to give it the login details and one DB updates the other one, if this gets slightly out of sync it causes a problem, the front end can be pushing the details at the forum DB and it's not needing them, hence the 5 login attempts.

I've worked around it for now so you shouldn't get the messages any more.
