    It seems there's another problem now my son tried to log on to bt today and got a msg saying he had used the wrong user name or password and he had used all his try's and needs to wait 15 minutes before trying again.

    I've just spoke to 3 other people that has had the same problem it seems if you log out you will get this msg when trying to log back in

    I had this on my Tapatalk this morning as well.

    I was worried I'd been hacked at first.

    There's a problem with the back-end that has taken down the CMS (see this thread) and it's broken forum logins as well. Ed's told me that IT is aware, and is working on the problem. For now, just hope you don't get logged out!

    Another confirmed case of this on my part, haven't been able to log in with Tapatalk 2 (up to date version) all day, but obviously can still get logged in via a browser on a PC access to the forum from my laptop/PC which have my login saved in the browser.

    Is this why Bit-Tech is spamming my email with this message?

    The IP seems to be a Bit-Tech related server.

    Or, is someone really trying to get in to my acount?

    A few people have had that mail as well - it doesn't mean someone has tried hacking your account, it's a server error. :)

    Sorry about the lack of info folks - I was locked out of the forums myself!

    Unbeknownst to me - don't even ask - our server was upgraded last night and there have been a few gremlins in getting the site back up and running. This has also caused the delay in publishing our GTX 770 review, or indeed any content today. We should hopefully be fully back up and running by later this evening or tomorrow morning (UK time).

    On the bright side, we shouldn't have any forum timeout issues from now on. \o/

    Loverly. Now are you aware of the news articles don't exist? It's all "page not found," the reviews/articles are unaffected.
