Is something wrong - having problems logging in to forum

I just wondering if something was wrong because I have never had this message pop up before.

I was viewing the posts on the forum portal and I wanted to post a reply in one of the threads. The very first time I tried to log in, I got a message saying that either my password or username was wrong and that I had used up my quota of tries to log in. It also said that I had to wait 15 minutes to try again.

After waiting more than 15 minutes (I think), I tried to log in again and the same thing happened. Just for curiousity, I clicked the refresh button on Internet Explorer and the normal message popped up saying “Thank you for logging in vexbot”.

Is there a reason why this happened, maybe a glitch somewhere? I did try closing Internet Explorer and re-opening it, but that didn’t help.

:confused:

No problems here - try a different browser perhaps? :slight_smile:

same thing has happened to me???
refreshing helped though

I had problems yesterday.
Firefox.

I never had any problems logging in yesterday, I use Google Chrome.

Just guessing here, but it sounds like there was a Cookie that expired, and when you did the refresh, it renewed it.

I don’t think that I have seen that exact error before, but I have another “weird” error that I can reproduce, in that if I click on the “Search”
item in the Grey Bar above and type something like “Ultrasonic” and click “Go” I get the following message:

The “Advanced Search” works fine though…

Anyone here just using IE? I’m having *no *problems whatsoever… :confused:

I have the same problem consistantly using Internet explorer on our school Internet, but I’ve never had it at home with safari
