Interesting. I had the same issue on my Netbook, which is only used seldomly. Didn't bother taking it any further and left the site. Main PC was ok when I got home & was already logged in as usual.

very right there Neil. I just got to work and tried on my work computer and it was logged in as per normal on this computer. So maybe it is my laptop issue?

Odd. There's a chance a bot was trying to access your account Jamie. It has three goes before the CAPTCHA request comes up. I guess it teaches that everyone needs a secure password with a mixture of letters and numbers.

Check your PM's Jamie. I'll have a go at resetting your old account.

All the rain radars have been upgraded to include an IP-Star Satellite backup connection for the Telecom DSL line. Hopefully they won't go offline again in a hurry.

I have upgraded to the latest phpBB3 version (3.0.8), please report if you have any hiccups because a few modified files were totally re-written with new code.
