Forum Login Issue

Post#1 » Wed May 04, 2016 6:35 pm

Hi -

Something has definitely happened to the forums today, as any account attempt to log into the forums immediately triggers a "maximum account login attempts" and requires the CAPTHCA to be entered to login.

The problem - Mozilla Firefox displays no CAPTHCA image. Internet explorer 11 does appear to show it.

Not sure if others are having this issue, or if other browsers are having the CAPTHCA image not appear, but just wanted to give an FYI as the users on the forum are extremely low likely due to this issue.

Chrome does the same thing as you stated with Firefox.

Hi! Just click on the lock in the url-bar in your browser. Then click on the arrow and allow this time.

The reason you get the invalid username or password error is because we added a reverse proxy to the website which causes all the incoming connections to the forum to appear as if they're coming from 127.0.0.1. The webmaster has been notified, we'll have to wait until he fixes the problem.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Edit: the caption solution imortalus posted works, in firefox you click the lock in the address bar and allow insecure connections, in chrome you click the shield and allow scripts from insecure connections. If you use IE or safari, god have mercy on your soul.

For the captcha : it's because i've mode some changes on the web server, and everything should be in https, but the captcha is not.
Most browsers don't show it because of that (you have to accept manually to show it).
