Title: Banned?
Post by: STFC_Chris on Wednesday, January 19, 2011, 21:13:26
Bit of a weird one... since yesterday I've been unable to get on to this website with my home pc when I use FireFox. It comes up with "An error has occurred!" Then , "Sorry Stfc_Chris you are banned from using this forum". Yet I can still get on fine using internet explorer.

Any bright ideas?

Yeah, someone didn't ban you properly. Sort it out Mods.

I've been extra vigilant with spammers of late and my enthusism has often meant I've caught a few legit posters! :D

Try it now.

Hmmm... restarted Firefox and tried again, still nothing. It's screwed. I've not changed anything, not downloaded anything new.

Not been able to get on with my Blackberry last couple of days. I needed it today to, sitting through 7 hours of a bloody microsoft pitch with no external means of staying awake...

It's me fucking with banning hostnames. The trouble is, I get excited when I ban one and it starts getting hits, even though those hits could be real members trying to get in!

I'll remove some of my more twatty ones.

Blimey, it's not often you see Caribbean islands in the same sentence as Welsh ones  :)

Sounds like a lot of hard work Mods, isn't it just easier to ban Chris?

I don't understand any of that computery stuff... so I'll leave it with the pros. IE is painfully slow.
