Howdy,

I think there are two separate issues here, unfortunately it seems that [several forums have been attacked in the same manner which involves a bot persistently trying to login to member's accounts. Our software catches this and after 3 attempts asks for the user to enter the letters from the image.
They should get bored and move on after a few days.

I've thrown up a temp "look" for now to tidy things up.
Regards,
Steve

Class - appreciate the effort (and the retro look - very 2003) !

BTW the 'view active topics' thing doesn't work now - it just throws up 'No suitable matches were found.' all the time.
