Users are being told they have 5 failed logins when it is not the case

[naomi.rosenberg]

Hi,

Our vB site has been working for years and suddenly today no-one can log in at all.

You can register a new account and get in to the forum that way, but any returning user who tries to log in gets told (after one, correct, attempt) that they have had 5 failed login attempts.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks

Naomi

Just worked out what happened. Lots of people trying to log in from the same public IP, must have got through 5 logins between us. The strike system works by IP not username.
