Banned

[skypig]

On my iPhone, I get a message:

Sorry skypig, you are banned from using this forum!
This ban is not set to expire


No matter what I try - home, copy a link, it ends up with this message.

No such problems on my iPad (hence this post)

Any suggestions?

Sounds like a local software or security glitch. Perhaps a recent update. No such problem with my Windows and Android. There was a few members on Face book who were receiving the same message but no mention of device being used. I would suggest rolling back your last updates for antivirus operating system and browser.

Thanks.
But I don’t have any antivirus, and I think the iPhone updates automatically.

It’s like the forum has banned the ID (IP?) of my phone, but not my account. The way it would if I were deliberately banned for some reason.
Quite weird.

I access the forum from a favourites list on my laptop and got the same message last week.

I don't remember how I remedied the problem; possibly just restarted the laptop.

No problems since.
