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.

I have the same problem when using my desktop computer but this laptop doesn't have a problem!

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”?
