It happened to me too, but only on the EN forum. I think the problem is not related with the https change, at least not directly. In fact, I remember that something like this happened a couple or years ago, and the conclusion at the time was that there was some kind of "brute force attack" to gain access to the forum looking for a weak password. If that's true, then the https came in right time :) Regards, Ricardo
