Yep I've just got that as well
my IP address is on the barred list

Me too - I assumed it was just due to the updating of the site?

I seem to be barred too.

Edited to say I've tried again and after about 4 tries I managed to get on the site.

lol same thing happened to me, emailed them and got told the same as you!

Sounds like they're not having a very good week - website down, security rumbled, and now running out of envelopes! Wonder if people are getting new invites cos they're about to sack the rest of us?

I reckon so - they just need to check they have enough people to take over first

Regarding the daily mail article - absolutely no surprises, I understand that they have to have a specific format but it is way too easy to identifiy test items (Especially those sent between panelists, not so much the 3rd party branded "junk" mail.

For example,
- quite a few people in this area use RM as test initials
- Printed labels (these may have changed recently) use AB, Surname - I dont know of any other post that address people this way, and any post with my middle initial from other sources is always A B Surname or in full, area is in capitals.

For panellists, you get the return address of kantar weekly, maybe this should not be there.

Maybe have a selection of brands for each envelope, several style of address lables that get printed randomly.

Regarding knowing what postboxes you are using, I guess most of this is obtained from the huge easily identifable return envelopes or the smart return ones rather than looking at your posting schedule paperwork.

I've moved a few times, you will get removed from the panel and told to sign up again with a certain referral code. If they have space, you will get accepted and go through all the training again.

The same applies even if you are moving to the next street with an ever so slightly different postcode Eg AB1 2CD to AB1 2CE
