Mrs. P, you trying to log in as me, or is somebody trying to hack my account?
 
I'm tracing that IP address to Berlin. . maybe change your password, mang.

--edit--
And it's a proxy server in Berlin. If you don't connect thru a proxy site, definitely change the password :embarrassed:

Well you wouldn't get an e-mail if they got in on the second try. Just a precaution. . .I realize it's only a message board, but better safe than sorry when it comes to passwords idn_smilie

but they didn't get in. it says they tried to get into my account 5 times and they failed. it also says my account is locked, but its clearly not because i'm still posting from it. the whole thing is weird.
 
I don't see how changing the pass word will help in this situation, if they didn't break the password in the first place.

Meh, I'm just paranoid I guess.
 
My password is pretty strong. I don't think anybody would be able to break it using any conventional algorhythms or anything. I mean, it's about 15 digits and it's alphanumeric with some symbols in there too.
