Captcha Image & Lock-out

[Fred]

We have had a few of you forgetting your log-in details and getting locked out for 15 minutes before being able to try again, however when you do try again you will get faced with one of those annoying Captcha's.


We know you don't like them or getting locked out, but they are in place to protect your account from getting hacked. You get 5 attempts to log-in with your correct log-in details, then you will get locked out and have to fill in the Captcha.

You may also get one if you follow the instructions in this thread Lost Password/Username and again it is in place to protect you.

We hate them as much as you, but without some security measures in place the forum could end up full of spam. And if it's your account that got hacked it would look like it was you that was doing the spamming, which would lead to your account being removed.

So if you want to avoid seeing the Captcha please follow these tips and save yourself the frustration.

1. Don't forget your password.
   
2. Most Browsers and computers have a way of remembering your password.
   
3. Don't go past 4 failed log-in attempts.
   

If all else fails and you do get the Captcha and can't complete it, please get in touch by answering an Email you have received by Around Montmorillon. Don't use the Contact Us button at the foot of the home page as it will give you a Captcha.

We hope that helps, and please remember it is in place to protect you and keep Around Montmorillon free off spam.

*We may not reply to your contact immediately, but will get back to you as soon as possible.

I must remember my password.
