    Do they get a message when they try to log-in? If they do, what does it say?

    What do you mean by "nobody can log in" ?

    You seem to be actually logged in and there are other members also.

    OK thank you very much !
    I've checked this with the technicians.

    There's a security system activated to protect the forums from a server attack.
    So, when a too high traffic is noticed on a forum, the protection is activated.
    That may cause :
    - Impossibility to log in
    - Impossibility to post in some pages
    - Impossibility to post on all pages

    Or all these protections at the same time.
    This protection has been activated yesterday between 7:36 and 7:46 pm
    and Monday between 7:31 and 8:01 pm (French time).
    Is that when your problem occured ?

    Hello!

    Leeloo, excuse my intrusion into question, but I have two questions about the security system. Embarassed

    Technicians can check the amount of traffic that the security system start to act in forum?

    This rule is integrated for all platforms or just the language of American forums?

    If perhaps there is a situation like this, what are the steps that I follow to disable this security tool and allow normal traffic forum?

    Thanks a lot!
