This seems to be fixed now as I'm not getting any more reports of any issues.


-------


Sorry but for some reason a lot of you are getting the message that your IP address is banned. You've not been banned and we're looking into it.


If you are getting that message please email [email protected] with your ip address https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=whats%20my%20ip


I don't usually read emails but will take a look today.

I tried from BT Fon with a different IP to my Home Wi-Wi and it was still blocked.


Its complecated


The Whats my IP IP is your Public IP and can be changed my your ISP


Then you have a Local IP which Identifies you. and I thought this is the one used to block users.

I'm confused.

I believe it may though I do not know how CloudFlare works.


The thing is you can access EDF and read posts but cannot send PMs or Post

No, foxy - your 'local' IP is not visible to the wider internet. The 'public' IP (actually your router's IP address) is what you show to the world and what is used to block you.

So why was I still blocked when going through BT Fon and bypassing my router. ? different IP

Because I was still using the same device. ?? with its local IP ??


I which I knew

    • This reads like an article in Gardeners World where Percy Chucker is discussing how he grew his SUV so big just using diesel based fertiliser and regular waywrimg 🤣   But point well made, they are getting bigger which is partly down to safety features that older cars didn't have but also marketing as adverts seen to push SUVs into the public eye. 
    • I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010
    • Cars are getting bigger and heavier (new cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards. The average width of a new car in the EU and UK passed 180cm in the first half of 2023, having grown an average of 0.5cm each year since 2001). Speed enforcement is also pretty rare in practice and according to DfT stats, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 50% of car drivers exceed the speed limit on 30mph roads. Hopefully we'll see regulation to stop the car bloat arms race, and perhaps moves to use the same geofenced speed limiters deemed essential for electric hire scooters, but not currently SUVs. Would certainly be more effective and cause less noise, pollution and damage than speed bumps. Also the cost gets passed to the manufactures, rather than public authorities.
