Why am I getting a banned IP message?

[MXdad]

Heads up for mods. I was able to log in on PC with no issues. Tried to log in on IPhone for the first time since the new board upgrade this AM. I have not been able to sign in on the IPhone. I have tried several times with no luck. I have powered down and restarted IPhone and that does not resolve the issue.
I am currently signed in on IPad so that is working, however when making a post using IPad there is no cursor showing up in the text box to know where your text is going. Of course this makes typing difficult as you can't move the cursor around to correct a mistake. You have to backspace from the end to get where you want to make the correction, insert a word etc.

Mods disregard the part about the cursor not showing up for some reason now it is showing up when using IPad

We shall. For future reference issue with such things are related to the device being used. The forums do not generate the cursor.

The specific problem with log-in from the IPhone was not stated.

A failed log-in usually generates a message regarding reason / error.

There have been several instances of IP issues which appear to be transitory and being worked on. Perhaps there is a connection.

Lee at the time I made the original post when I tried to sign in on the IPhone I received no error message. That was the strange part, once I entered username and PW and selected Log In the page will reload. For a second while the page reloads I get a page with the Hannity banner at the top of a solid blue page with the words redirecting across the banner. Then the original page I was on reloads with the "welcome box" at the top of the forum for me to log in.

While this was going on I was on 3G no wireless, the above was happening with the I phone however I was able to log in on 3G with IPad


An hour after the above incident I went to the fourm on phone to check for any reply to my OP and received an IP banned MSG. At that time I tried on my IPad again on 3G and received IP banned MSG. Five mins later I connected to wifi at the account I was in and was able to log in on iPad but had same issues with phone as described in the first paragraph of this post.

As an experiment I turned off my wifi on both iPhone and iPad and received banned IP on both. When I turned wifi on I was able to access site on both and log in on iPad but no luck logging in on iPhone. Still no error msg on phone just a reload to the previous page.

10 mins later while I am typing this MSG I no longer get the banned ip with wireless off.

It sounds like the banned ip is no consistent as one time it bans the next it does not. However the iPhone will still no log in and only redirects with no error msg.

I can access all of the functions with my pc. I am unable to link via the laptop or tablet. I keep getting a message that says the administrator has banned my ip address and to sign in to talk to administrator.
Signing in only loops back to the same link.

Fava my guess is it has something to do with the new upgrade to the forum. Like you I have no issues with my PC. I had one instance of IP banned on both my iPhone and iPad. Currently I can log in on iPad but on iPhone when I log in it redirects to the same page over and over with no error msg so it will not let me log in.

I guess it is like the partial abortion ban...

I think there are some bugs to still work out with the new upgrade.

The issue, noted in the other thread, is known and being addressed.

OK. Thanks, Lee. The laptop now connects. The tablet is still waiting.

OK. Thanks, Lee. The laptop now connects. The tablet is still waiting.

Is the tablet using the same means of access as the laptop?

[fava]

Yes. It is all going through the same Belkin modem.

[Lee Kington]

Then the issue has to be local with your tablet. A cookie perhaps?

[fava]

It started working again. A miracle.

[MXdad]

Any suggestions
still unable to log in on iPhone. No issues on PC or iPad.
On phone after entering username and password and pressing "log in" page just reloads. No error msg
