This has happened twice now in the past two days where I would try to access the forum on my phone (which would normally auto-login) and it says account locked, try again in 10 minutes.

I then got an email saying it was due to 5 failed login attempts from Suffolk. Is one of you jealous or something?

    Sorry about this, it's as a result of revamping the site to the new secure one (https) and your phone is pointing to the old non-secure site

    If you clear the Cookies for the site and reload then it should install new Cookies which will work.

    Same problem here. I accidentally signed out and when I sign back in it would sometimes say that. For me it says something in Hertfordshire. It would also sign me out after some time. Need to check on my laptop

    Would this revamp cause problems with my login on Tapatalk and if so what can I do? I keep getting the message “you don’t have permission to post a reply”. I’ve deleted the forum from the app, and I’ve also deleted the app and reinstalled it. Thanks in advance
