I guess I'm the lucky one. I have yet to experience this issue.

And it happened again to me today. I tried to delete the spam bots, the forum tells me to put my password in to confirm and it doesn't work. I am still auto logged in, but this is bullshit.

Luckily a couple hours later, it works again.

Just received a message from Bunni. Someone is trying with 'brute force' to hack our forum log ins. He recommended changing the passwords to something really complex and NOT in the dictionary. Bunni is trying to track down the offending IP addresses and block them. They are targeting certain random members and certainly all of the MODS.

For one thing, my forum log in password is DIFFERENT than my main site login password. But someone is trying to definitely hijack our accounts and block us out and do 'who knows what' to the site.

:mad:

Apparently that word is in the dictionary and he got into it using some kind of Brute Force program that enters every word in the dictionary until it gains access.

My guess is they're not actually targeting imfdb, it's just a bot collecting forum logins to post spam and hijack email accounts.

Well I couldnt' get in several times this morning. I tried to remove some idiotic SPAMMERs but I couldn't get in. All I get is THIS on my first try....

I finally got in, but it's really tiresome to have to wait several hours and multiple tries to log in to the forums. :(

Same message I get MPM.
Especially when I see something I disagree with on the forums and I just HAVE to counter it lol.

Well my auto login hasn't been much of a problem. The only problem I faced before I changed my password was putting my password in when I delete posts and ban spam bots

Well I guess the hackers don't see you as much of a priority! ;) LOL!
