Administrator Banned IP Address ?

I'm on 3 Mobile and have a problem where when I try to use the forum on my mobile, very often I get the message " The Administrator Has Banned Your IP Address"
I've had this problem on my old Iphone 3GS & My new Motorola Moto G
If I'm logged out I get the message and also if I try to log in.

    I think you need to contact the MSE team about it, because I don't think it's anything to do with '3'.

    I access these forums on my mobile, and I'm with '3', and I've never had any messages like that come up.

    Thanks for the reply - When the message shows there is a click here option to contact the Administrator. I've clicked & filled the form in but had no reply.

    I get these banned messages every few days on my 3 data connection.

  • This will be because the MSE Team have banned an IP address here and there from a forum member they have banned. The forum members banned would have been using the 3 network data to login but these IP addresses are leased addresses. So When you connect and get one of these leased addresses and login you are banned too.

    Suggest rebooting your phone to get a new IP
