Forums Security Upgrade - Please Read
Posted: Tue Feb 15, 2011 10:43 am
After looking at some of the people logging in I noticed they were trying to login as numerous members of the forums including myself. Yes, those nasty bots are trying to hack into yours and my account. To prevent this I have installed a new security measure. It will lock your account to an IP.
I suggest you make sure you password is not a dictionary word or something a bit more complicated than say "password1".
To enable the IP protection you need to make sure you have a static IP first of all, or know all the common IPs you are assigned. Go to your Profile > Account Related Settings > IP Address Account Protection, then enter one or more IPs to block the bots.
Any questions, feel free to ask
