administrator has banned your IP address

worried_jim

I've just clicked on "New Posts" and I get the following message-


"Sorry. The administrator has banned your IP address. To contact the administrator click here"


This is using the Opera broswer, I've logged in via Firefox and (obviously) I can accsess the site with no problems.


I havent been naughty- honest.



Any ideas?

If you search on site feedback there's a few reasons but it's not because you've done anything wrong. In some cases a while back, it was copying and pasting from word into the text box.
Try resetting your router, and if that doesn't work contact the forum team and they'll sort it for you. Although in Poppy12345s case last month it took them a while.

Tried that but hasnt worked so have emailed the forum team. No issues via the ipad/chrome either, just Opera all of a sudden.


Chrome works fine on the pc too.

Are you using Opera's VPN capability?

Have you done a 'cut & paste' recently?

No, not at all. I'm guessing it was a vpn issue, a quick reset has resolved it.

It was just a thought from reading the other (quite long) thread on the subject on this board.
