    Just a quick update... got an e-mail from admin, they need my home IP address so as to help sort things out... as soon as I get home, I'll find it and reply to them with the details :D

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    MSE IT peeps are pretty good, hope you manage to get it sorted quickly.

    copied and pasted from saved word documents on my laptop

    I did something similar, Not quite sure what as I'm not very technically minded but got myself automatically banned. Admin sorted it out super quick for me.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.

    Mornng folks :D

    Didn't get any "proper" hiking done this weekend due to the high winds and rain on the hills so I played about with some new gear in my local hills n woods.
    Duggerlugs went AWOL... should have called her Dora... spent almost an hour looking for her and then she came back to camp by herself, tail a wagging looking like she'd thoroughly enjoyed herself... wee rascal. She'll be secured to her safety line next time...

    Still waiting to get access sorted to MSE from home, hopefully be sorted soon...
    NEVER, EVER copy n paste from a word document into the forum as it will result in an automatic ban of your IP

    I think the storm caught us all this weekend. Paying for last week's lovely weather no doubt.

    I bet you were relieved when the dog reappeared, how frightening. Little devil.

    Hope you get your home access sorted soon, at least you know why.

    Thanks Sun Addict
    Still waiting for home access to be re-instated. Have sent the required details to the admin team but I know they're not a 24/7 operation, as I believe they are mostly, if not all, volunteers.
    Just getting by with access from work atm.
    It is a bit of a nuisance though cos when I get home I get all the "pings" of updates on here and I cannae get access to see what's happening :(

    Hope awbiddy is doing grand

    I had no idea they blocked you for copying from Word documents! I've been tempted to do that in the past because I've lost the odd loooooong post on here for one reason or another. Hope it gets sorted asap, Uncanny

    I've always done this and never had a problem? Perhaps they've recently changed the rules on it.

    Hope it gets sorted soon x

    Apparently, the safest way to copy and paste a load of text is to use Notepad.
    Copy whatever text you need into Notepad and then copy/cut and paste into the forum from there.
    It has been a long running glitch in the forum software and some folks seem to be fine doing the normal cut n paste with no problems, then suddenly the system goes, "NOPE, YOU CAN'T DO THAT, YOU'RE BANNED!!!!".
    Anyhoo, not making that mistake again and will be using the Notepad to forum route from now on...
