Hmmm...maybe you're now a "Miserable User." In the words of one of my favorite posters: Go now and learneth what that meaneth. Or something like that.

The only technical problem that I've experienced here happened this morning. I was attempting to post in a thread and it was merged with another one (by another admin) at the time I hit the post reply button. Which ended up showing me a message saying that "This forum is not accepting any new posts" ----

that WASN'T funny Boom....

That's interesting. Do you ever use open proxies?

Someone using the same ISP you use- a very common one with many millions of users- has been spamming.

We added anti-spam features to the board for proxies.
if you are using a proxy, it will check the Real BlackList.

I'm afraid I don't know what that is, so I can't tell you yes or no. All I know is that I was here in the morning, when I tried to check back in before picking up my daughter at school it was blocked. I shut down my PC and when I came back later in the evening it was unblocked.

That is funny and yes I had to carefully read that word twice, 'cause I thought it was another hoax.

Now there's a shock!

Seriously, I hope someone can take the time to explain whether that is an authentic site and what we can do if we have that problem again. How do I learn whether I use a proxy and if I use one what should I do?
