Not sure if there is something nefarious going on or if it is a bug with the site, but I tried logging into the site on my once and was told in bright red letters, that I had exceeded the amount of log in attempts and thus had to also complete the captcha...is this a system bug that everyone deals with from time to time, or is this a case where someone for some crazy reason wants to hack into my little ol account here? I really would like to know the answer to this question... anyone else have this issue? It doesn't happen every time which leads me to question whether it's a bug issue...I'm sorry if this ist the appropriate forum for the question but I know it is a place that people will see this as it pertains to everyone... thanks

I've never gotten the message. I check the "keep me logged in" box and rarely have to log in.

Good to know...there is really nothing to gain by someone hacking my account that I can see if that is going on but I felt like I would ask just to see people's opinions...it struck me as odd bc I hadn't repeatedly tried to log in with an incorrect password
It’s done it to me in the past and it just did it now while signing in ironically. I’m gonna follow the above advice and stayed logged in. Either way, rock on!!

As I have been doing the WGSJ, where I would come back on to the site over, and over, I'd get the captcha request all the time. (I had exceeded my log on attempts in too short a time.)
Just this morning, getting on right now, it happened, and I hadn't been on since yesterday. So, yes it may be nefarious because it does ask you to register if you are not a member.
The captcha is always the same question, and a slightly tricky question since it requires a possessive answer.
However, this is hardly the security scare that really scares me. The one that really scares me is when I have cleared out my History on my Mac and instead of coming in through Yahoo!, I try to come in through the top of my Mac type-in section. I type r, then u, and it will start to self populate, and I'll see rukind of some sort show up, so I'll click on it. And a warning page will appear that the site I am about to enter is not a secure site, and is pretending to be rukind. It asks the question, do I want to continue?
So, I just close everything down and maybe even clear some more History, and then I come in through Yahoo! in the more familiar manner.
Whenever I look at the bottom of a page at this site, when I'm logged on, to see whoever else is on, I always see things like Goog [Bot] (or something), and someone else (a real user), and 0 or 1, or 2 guests. So, there are security concerns, and you just have to be vigilant, and take a little personal responsibility for your security by using common sense, and by going the extra effort to insure that you have gone far enough.
Friends have told me, just general knowledge for the Internet, to clear your computer's History every night. Maybe not a bad idea.

At the bottom you must answer a question.
I've been getting security warnings as well at home on my Mac--"this site is not secure."
Actually, looking at the top of my browser now at work I see that the site is not secure here as well.
I don't know....admins?

it's bot protection. it actually stops the bots from trying repeatedly to guess your password or being locked out needing admin help. best of both worlds.
