Oliver,
Ok, so I have had a few beer's and decided to get my fix on this site,
and let's say I didn't notice that my CAP'S LOCK was on :shock: :roll: ,
not until the 6th try :x :evil: and then the screen says I have to wait a half hour before I can log in .

:idea: mate, any chance of raising the limit to say 6 or 7 for those of us that
are a bit challenged at times??

Changed to 7!

The reason it's set relatively low (some would argue though that 5 is plenty!) is for security, I guess, so that people can't have umpteen attempts to guess someone's password.

Cheers,

Oliver
