Logging in

Post by bellett65 »

I am having an issue with logging in. OK on the tablet and phone but the laptop has decided that I have used up my quota to log in. I keep getting a question to answer and do so in correct case and I end up at the same spot over quota. Anyone got any ideas ?

Peter I've never seen that "over quota" before from the forum.
Can you browse other sites with no problems on the laptop?
Are you using the same means to connect to the Internet on all 3 devices? 3G or ADSL?
If you're still having problems, if you PM me your p/wd I'll test it from here.

"tanks" here---
I had the same problem. I tried several times to login. It told me that I had used my max attempts and gave me a confusing set of letters to enter into a little box. Still no go, so I went and had an Ice Cream. [Mango flavour]

I contacted Admin and received NEW password, however before I could use the new password the computer decided to let me in without doing the login bit.
I think it suddenly recalled my previous entry. have had no problem since. Perhaps the Mango Ice Cream fixed it.
If it happens again I will threaten it with ADMIN and see what it does.

I plan to have another birthday next year.
