Dags...add your IP the the blocked list and see what error you get. I promise I'll take it off when you're done testing.

I didn't think you could even get as far as the forum loading when blocked, or is that the firewall?

I thought it was just me. Iphone, vodafone.

Also struggling to get this site to work from my work computer. It freezes just before the entire page loads up so it looks promising but then nothing. Have to exit explorer to continue. Stupid PC. should take my Mac to work :bangcomputer:

Fingers crossed bossman has this sorted now, was IP addresses being blocked by the spam filter.

Obviously spammers weapon of choice these days is Telstra NextG...and unfortunately the innocent user that gets the same IP next time is blocked as well.

If it does reoccur then you should be able to get around it be restarting your data connection - or reset your phone/place it in flight mode and then take it out again etc.

...and hopefully there won't be a massive increase in spam posted on here as a result. :pinch:

Correct. Our SPAM filter was banning IP addresses sent to us by a system which automatically blacklist's know IP addresses who spam and cause problems on forums.

For now we have disabled the auto blacklisting and will see how we go moving forward. If we for some reason have an increase in spam we will be re-enabling it and unfortunately this will cause issues for our Telstra Members.
