failed login attempts

so i got a captcha type text thing to enter to login this morning, claiming i had too many failed login attempts. I either had tried once, or had yet to try. (I haven't had my coffee yet, everything is blurry, i was up till about 7am yesterday). anyways it is clearly an anti spam maneuver, and if thats waht it takes i am fine with it staying, but I assume a setting is wrong somewhere if it kicks in after 1 or 0 attempts. just a heads up for whoever is in charge of the change, and thanks for all the hard work!

No, something is definitely wrong. It isn't an antispam deal. I don't have an answer, but it's only happening to your account, which appears to be completely normal.

Sorry,

I got the same thing, I assumed it was the "evil thoughts" Doc was having yesterday.

I entered the text and was in.

It's the same old story.

Lady brings the car to the mechanic and says it pulls to the right. Mechanic drives car and, no matter what, can't produce a pull to the right. Mechanic says, "Bring it back when it breaks."

Bring it back when it breaks.

FWIW I was on Win7 at work when I got the CAPCHA request.

I do log on the site a lot, and reading the statement in red, I thought I was being curtailed. :shock:

Not so I see Doc!
