Re: IP Ban
Been getting constant messages that my IP has been banned.
FYI This doesn't happen all the time.
I have cleared my cache and cookies more than once and closed my browsers Firefox and SeaMonkey and tried to access the board.
Sometimes clearing the cache and cookies doesn't fully work.
My IP address does change. I did check the blacklist and for some weird reason it was linked to my current IP address. Strange.
Not too annoyed by this since I am able to log in and post a reply here.
But, I wonder why this keeps happening. Gremlins perhaps?

Re: IP Ban
Hi,
It's probably "George", our resident "Green Gremlin."
He likes to play up, at times & is very hard to track down.

Thanks! I had a really good chuckle when I read that.
Gotta love them Gremlins! Especially "George"

I'll second that. I got the "IP ban" half a dozen times this last week. (Does it have periods of quiet and activity?) Clearing cache did not help. Doing something like Search "anything" worked every time.

Re: IP Ban
George seems to get grumpy about IP numbers. If it becomes a problem then either go to a library or a friends house and log in. If you cannot to do that let me know and I will briefly take over your account, log in and send you the new password.. Logging in from a different ISP seems to solve the problem much more often then not.

But so does just logging in again, from the same ISP, without resetting anything. Just press the "Login" button at the upper right. Works every time.

Re: IP Ban
Logging in from a different IP seems to solve the problem forever. George is a bastard but a fair one.

Re: IP Ban
Got this:
The message is clear. Don't dis George.
You have been banned from this board until May 30th, 2014, 7:00 am.
If you believe this is an error, please try closing your browser and clearing your cache.
If you still have an issue, and believe it's an error, put the word "anything" in the Search Boards text box and click on GO. Click on any result and then click on Board Index. The problem should go away.
A ban has been issued on your IP address.
The message is clear. Don't dis George.

Re: IP Ban
I just cleared my cache and cookies and everything (usually do with each new version of FF) and I got the IP ban message. Clicked the login link and logged back in. Pretty much happens every time I clear all my stuff and come back to the forum. Maybe because I didn't logout of the forum specifically so it thought I was an imposter. Who knows LOL.

Re: IP Ban
For reasons known only to George, our resident gremlin, you can sometime make the problem go away by logging in from a different location. Use your phone or work, friend's or library computer to log in and see what happens.
