Re: downatthemac.proboards.comI have been receiving the 'you have been banned from this forum' message on and off for the last 4 days. Sometimes I'm able to log in, but mostly not & I receive the banned message. I can access it fine via a VPN, but this is not a long term solution due to connection speed. Please can you advise? (I haven't been banned as not posted anything). Thanks

It sounds like your primary IP address was banned. If you can log in from another IP address, your account was not banned.

Thanks - I did try log in from my work PC & could access it, but not able to do that regularly.
I always access via my mobile. Maybe it is that IP address. But why would it allow me access some times but not others in the same day?

You may not always have the same IP when on your mobile. Next time you get the banned message, find out what your current IP is ( you can go to www.whatismyip.com ), and ask the staff on the forum to check it against what you currently have in the forum's ban list ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

That's really up to the staff there and why they banned your IP address. Since you can still log in with your account, I would encourage you to contact either the admin there or a staff member privately to explain and ask about the situation. If your IP address was banned by mistake, I'm sure they will remove it from the ban list for you. If they did it intentionally, they will be able to provide clarification. I would not make a public thread there though. I would ask in private.

OK- I'll check out the IP address and contact the site admin to see if/why it's been banned. Thanks both for your advice - much appreciated 😊
