"Banned from Forum" Message - Answered

Post by Maggie »

When trying to enter the discussion forum, I frequently get a message that I have been "banned" from the forum and to contact the administrator.

The message is apparently an error, because when I try again or click on "Log In" I eventually get through. However, it is something of a shock when it pops up.

Hi Maggie,

This weekend we had a someone who's computer was using the same IP as some of the those who post here and was logged in multiple times and it kept increasing. To stop the number from growing I had to stop those IPs from logging into the site. Those IPs were blocked.

I have removed the block on the IPs, so things should be ok now.
