    Re: Problem with forum access

    I had no problem last hour.

    Yesterday I had problems; it didn't show all items (just 2 instead of 4 reactions).
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.

    Re: Problem with forum access

    What was the message you received? I was able to connect to the forum and i saw many users connected as well.

    Were you able to connect to other sites?

    I have to use proxies to get around restrictions in place here so I just switch proxy when I have to-or just find something else to do until the block gets removed and I'm allowed back in ;-)

    Re: Problem with forum access

    This is a ongoing issue. See here. Nobody seems to be bothered with it when I have raised the issue. I can't be bothered now. So when they start tinkering under the bonnet, I just log off and go elsewhere.

    Re: Problem with forum access

    It has been very slow for me at times today, and I've received several "you must wait for 30 seconds..." type messages when I've replied. I've taken to <copy>ing my reply to the clipboard and then clicking on New Posts (another delay) to see if it did really get through (which it always has) - this has happened at least 5 times today. At other times it has been very slow to move from one forum to another, or from UserCP to New Posts. Very sluggish - I usually click over to BBC Sport for a welcome change.

    Pete

    ChemistB, you could have sent an email to admin@excelforum.com stating that you were blocked. Someone would have quickly checked your IP. 5 days is a lot of time.

    Very slow about an hour ago. Actually Chrome timed me out. Seems to be working ok now. Must be Saturday night in one of the db manager's mind.
