Is this a glitch or are robots trying to login into accounts at all times?
If so, seems like 15 attempts is a lot of noise.
I have the same issue around 75% of the time to time to post a reply to a thread. Home PC, IPad, Work PC, Phone. They all do it.
"The max login attempts has been exceeded please wait 15 min before trying again."
Two other areas this happens is:
When I'm using a search. I log in. Perform a search. Get results. I try and do another search and it says I'm logged out. Trying to log again and I get the max attempts lockup.
I post a reply to a thread and I see a typo or I forgot something in my response. I try and edit it. It says I need to log in again. Trying to log again and I get the max attempts lockup.

I'm the 1st to admit the site is treasure trove of priceless data, but I also have to admit the functionality of the site can leave me making up compound curse words.
