This morning I have received two (automated?) emails from the "The Radio 3 Forum" advising of failed attempts to login to my account here using incorrect passwords. The emails also advised that the IP addresses from which such attempts were made were 76.73.53.117 and 174.36.199.200. Can anyone here throw any light on what is going on?

How did you get in eventually?It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

I was never logged out, frenchie. Indeed, when I openned an additional tab and navigated to http://www.for3.org/forums/index.php, there was no problem.

There appear to be several log-in attempts going on at the moment. I'm not sure whether they're bots or members. I can say that neither of the IP addresses matches any other member. I'll keep a watch on this.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

http://174.36.199.200/ is a Tor exit router:
Tor sees use by many important segments of the population, including whistle blowers, journalists, Chinese dissidents skirting the Great Firewall and oppressive censorship, abuse victims, stalker targets, the US military, and law enforcement, just to name a few.

I think the Tor ones we're seeing here are mainly spambots as there frequently seem to be several attempting to log in and getting the error message because they're not registered users.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.
