System problems? / Re: Banned

« Last post by John Orchard on Yesterday at 10:44:22 pm »

Fixed my problem. If it helps anyone, I did this: open "file explorer". In the address bar at the top, type %temp% and hit enter. This opens the temporary file cache, I had over 3,000 items in there. There is a "select all" button at the very top. Select all and then hit delete. Doesn't get rid of all of the items but did enough to allow me to log into the site again.

I did what you said, seemed to have gotten rid of some crap, thanks.

IPhone.
Settings
Safari
Clear website history and data.

Worked. Probably have to input PW’s and stuff on my regulars for a while - but can catch up on VMX on my phone again

Competition / Re: Mandatory front & rear armour for classic riders say MA.

Just had a read of the 2025 MOMS. Very interesting on the body armour and or guards.  Is the 2026 different wording or different classifications IE Seniors perhaps?

In the “safety” world we live in - I’m not surprised.
(I found out recently that 9” Angle grinders are banned in industry - I was first handed one as a 14yo at TAFE)

Can’t find the 2026 MOMS.
Does it specify a “standard” for the armour?
Or the “Roost Protectors” commonly worn will suffice?

Competition / Mandatory front & rear armour for classic riders say MA.

I just read an excerpt from the 2026 MA rule book, senior MX (including classic) riders must now wear front & rear body armour.

Thanks Pokey

The fact that it has happened to an unknown, but significant number of people. (Who knows how many can no longer access the site to tell us they have been banned?) is odd, and suggestive of a site issue?

It’s on my late model, up to date iPhone that I’m experiencing the issue - I thought they were a little immune to most of these “cookie” type issues. “Resetting” would lose me a lot of stuff, even clearing all the temp files would mean logging in to a heap of sites etc again. (Not the end of the world, but not ideal.)

Have been perusing the Simple machines forums who own the program which runs this forum and it seems its mainly as I suspected  a local issue  on your device with cookies. tiny chance there is a string of code being picky on the host site but im going with the cookie issue. Either one is not sticking (add site to trusted list) or you already have a cookie from here and its corrupted.  When a device attempts to log in that device is asked to supply credentials as in a cookie or accept a new cookie and it cant do either if there is a corrupted cookie already going by that registration. I hope that makes sense.

The fact this occurs with a few members but not on every device means the membership is good and the log in credentials are good its just the device with the problem. Clean all temp files. Use a good cleaner program if your not techy. Remove all cookies. Make sure you clean the browser history online also. Then reboot. Check your security settings and antivirus and firewall  as they can also cause problems accepting cookies.  Best of luck.

This makes me think of a problem the Yamaha IT forum was having before it closed down. That being, not being able to log on, then some being able to log on and others not being able to. I don't think there was ever a reason given or discovered.

As I mentioned in an earlier comment, I only received the banned message once. The wording ('You've been banned') made me suspicious that the sight had been hacked.

If it helps, I don't allow third party trackers on my laptop and also clear my cookie cache regularly. Maybe that helped my situation...or maybe not.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

I still can’t access the forum on my iPhone (Due being “Banned”)
Others have mentioned the same issue.

I think there may be some that don’t have, or use an alternative (I’m on my iPad)

This issue could contribute to the forum dwindling away.

It there anyone that has the know how to “unban” the recently “banned”?
