Hi,

There is a issue with Easysocial Login-Register page. Users can try to logging 10000000000000 ( may be more) times . How can we prevent this?
Note: Captca is not a usefull solution for this...
Okay, found the problem! EasySocial was relying on Joomla's global message to display the message because when we try to log the user in, Joomla is playing the role of logging in. When it fails, the error is being thrown by Joomla instead.

I have added a fix for you on the site and it should work fine now.

Hello,

Hm, not too sure why is this an issue actually if they wouldn't be able to login? I believe Joomla also does not prevent this too.

So, what can we do for this. And if someone try to logging with wrong credentials, there is no any warning after this attempt. This is another problem...

Sorry but we do not intend to lock down the login after x amount of trials currently. I don't get you here but when I tried to login with an invalid username / password I get an error message.
