Logging in

Hello to the SOB who has been attempting to sign in using my name.
One question?Why:cool:

[admin]

I'm assuming the forum software let you know about that which is good. But if anybody's accounts do get hacked email me using the email address you registered with, sales (AT) harnesslink (dot com).

justdoit, it's possible it's just automated bots that roam the interweb so it might not necessarily be personal ;)

Thank you admin,
yes I get sent the IP address.

It's probably cold comfort but that has been happening to me from time to time.
I go to log in for the 1st time on a given day and it tells me I've used up my incorrect log in quota or something like that and that I have to wait 15 mins.
Maybe that's what is going on with Buster ? He's in fact an automated & notably rather controversial 'bot' roaming the web, searching for Chat Rooms in which to make outlandish claims? :p

[admin]

Hmm that's a little strange, I'll ask somebody more technical than I to have a look at the logs.

Don't get too much in a spin Admin. My wireless Net connection periodically drops out like a Cello Player in a Marching Band. That could also be the problem.

I stay logged in so dont have that problem, in fact I got the reverse (well not a problem at all)...I am in need of a new laptop, it overheats and turns itself off (ok theres a problem)...when I turn it back on all the websites I go to have forgotten my login ID and I need to sign in again. Not this forum though; keeps me signed in regardless!

Two possible solutions but neither are as good as getting a new laptop. You could try a different browser which might not remove the cookies websites use to save passwords, firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/e) or chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome) are infinitely better than IE if you don't already use them.

Or you could use roboform (http://www.roboform.com/), I've used it in the past when I needed to save a lot of data for data entry type stuff. It's a bit of a hassle but it might be slightly less hassle then what you're dealing with now.
