Error while logging in. Failed login quota. Why does it happen?

[CWJ]

My solution: I created 2 login versions

cwj and CWJ

- now one is always working, most of the time small letters, it takes me max 2 attempts

[Jarek Z]

3 attempts for me today!

This problem has been annoying me for a year now. Some days I have been able to log in at first attempt, but more often than not 2, 3 or even more attempts was required. Some days I even have given up completely.

But a week ago I noticed something. I always use the same link to access the forum - and have done so for years - and I noticed that the link was not a secure connection (http://... at the start of the link). I have changed my link to https://www.motorsportforums.com/forum.php and since, I have been able to log on without problems. This has now worked for a week, so I am beginning to hope, that I have hit a solution.

I don't know, if it will continue working, but I just thought, I would share it with you, so that you also could check, if it could be a help for you.

Thanks for sharing this tip. How do you login to the forum? Do you use the small user/password text boxes in the upper right corner? Or do you login using 'Reply' button?

Hi Jarek. I always log in by using the user/password text in the upper right corner. But I also have to tell, that using the https-solution has not made the login-problem disappear completely. I am still rejected sometimes - however, it is slightly better than before.

It happens to me on the (very rare) occasions that I try to log in. Usually I just lurk & read the posts of interest. I have found that sometimes when the login fails I can hit the page refresh button causing my browser (Firefox) to re-send the login data & that gets me in. It's how I got in to post this.

These damn spammers don't seem to have any problem logging in, do they?

Where's Mark?

Where's Pino?

Is there anybody out there???

Log in issues are getting ridiculous.

Thanks for the hint. Worked for me today (after second attempt).
