    Someone please PM the link as well?

    I have been unable to login for 24hrs. The site has been logging me out when attempting to post. Then will not accept correct PW to log back in.

    The thread that gave us the link to login on another entry has disappeared. Without that thread, I am not sure if the link will be available. Seems strange how a thread with that link would just disappear.

    I have been dealing with it for a day or two. Any attempt to login I get the failed login, wait 15 minutes, etc...


    I finally was able to login after resetting my password twice.
    Should i be concerned about my info?

    The reason a thread with an unknown IP address was moved is because I can't think of a valid reason to have an unknown, unvetted, and possibly unsafe IP address being passed around.

    If you go to a command line and ping M4carbine.net, it certainly will not come back to the IP address that some unknown and faceless entity posted to the forums.

    I would suggest ceasing use of an unknown IP address. I would also suggest that by using the www.m4carbine.net URL, go to your password and change it to something secure.

    Suggestion would be use one capital letter, one symbol (!@#$%^&*....etc), and at least one number (1,2,3...etc).

    "!Password123#" is way more secure than "password123" or "password".



    TL; DR -- change your password via the proper URL, navigate alternate IP/URL's at your own peril.

    Ok, I tried to do what you said and still having problems. It says wrong password, wait 15 minutes etc... How can I change my password through your link if I can't login??

    Again, I would only recommend using www.m4carbine.net to navigate to the site. Obviously, if you have a known authentic IP address, great use it, otherwise you are running the risk of going to a spoof site, or some "honeypot" trap.

    Obviously, everything on the internet is technically a risk, but using unknown IP addresses is probably a generally bad idea, and increases your risk.

    If you can not access the site via www.m4carbine.net, just wait and try again later.

    Alright I am threadjacking my thread back to the original intent.

    (1)I attempted to login on Saturday but received a failed login notification that I had exceeded my limit. Since this was in fact my first attempt to login, I was suspicious.
    (2)I received an email from m4carbine.net stating that someone had tried to login as me from an address that wasn't my address.
    (3)Even after waiting the required 15 minutes, than 24, now 72 hours, my original password did not work.
    (4)After changing my password via the forums (using incidentally the password that was not being accepted) I can now login, but still have no explanation from #1,2,3.

    It's working for me. No spam emails, no problems, and this isn't my first post.
