I banned myself! :S

Help!
It sounds ridiculous I know, but I was trying to ban a friend who uses the same email address as me, and foolishly left the three boxes: Email address, username, and IP code ticked!
Now I'm banned from my own forum, and can't even get on to change it back!
Is there anything I can do??

Thanks
Alice

If you have another staff member at your forum that you could contact somehow by email or instant messenger they could unban you. Or just wait for Craig/Martyn to reply to this thread to help you.

Thanks, I'll try it

Your welcome.

My staff member cannot get on either, it is saying she has been banned too. I asked another friend to go in as guest, and it worked fine!
Will I have to start from scratch and create a new forum?

No you don't. An admin here can unbann you if you. Just wait for Craig or Martyn to reply. Might be a few more hours though.

No probs about waiting
