Account locked?

[Forest_Fifer]

 

I've just had 3 emails from Pie and Bovril telling me that my account has been locked due to 3 failed login attempts to my account. They say that the attempts were from my location. I can however still access the forums from my tablet and phone? Soes this just mean that if I logged off I wouldn't be able to log back in again?

Edit - just logged in via my browser so it doesnt appear to be that. Go figure.

Is your location in the middle of the Thames? It always says that when it happens to me, usually when I've tried and failed to log on my phone. I think it's something to do with my email changing from googlemail to gmail years ago..

I get this all the time. Says Stenhousmuir, Falkirk FK5. Suppose Cumbernauld is near there.

Had this several times in the past and it always pointed the location as the Union Canal not far from Meggetland sports complex.
