Sounds to me like you are already logged in from a previous successfull login attempt - the site will remember you - and the last time you've tried to login was unsuccessfull, hence the error.
hi scoff,
yes it does say welcome in the top right, just found it strange as on the log in screen i've ticked remember me so details are already entered and then just click enter. was just wondering why it would let me in anyway, didn't kno if there was a security error where you could just put in a valid user name and random password but still access the site but as you say it's just remembered i'm an idiot and redirected me anyway!
Ah don't worry, not a security problem.
It's almost certainly like I said, you must have logged in correctly at some point - the site has then remembered you - and now the details you have in the login box may be wrong.
Try deleting all login name and password out of the login box on the main black screen, then re-type them in, make sure "remember me" is ticked and then try that, see if you still get an error.
If you do then I think we'll need to reset your password, you might have entered it wrong somewhere.
Also, sounds daft, make sure that caps-lock wasn't on when you typed in your user name and password into the main login page. It is case-sensitive.
