Being blocked from here
Anyone had this in past couple of weeks??
I go to post and get a message that states that my IP is blocked due to viruses. I've ran all kinds of tests etc and my computer is clean, so I go on the website the message takes me too and unblock myself which takes a day or 2.
Week later, same thing happens again. It's quite annoying, especially as I've never had any problems before in the 10-odd years I've been on here.

No haven't seen this myself. Anybody else?
Re: Being blocked from here
Nope. Do you get the same problem using a different browser?

Not tried in other browser, next time it happens I'll give it a go. It's really quite annoying when it happens.

There is such a thing as IP blacklisting....happened to me when trying to sort out buying a new van from a major reseller and also a couple of other times. Not had any problems recently..

Re: Being blocked from here
I don't get emails from any thread I am subscribed to.
I don't what the issue is as my email address is setup correctly and does not appear to be a spam filter issue with my email client?!
Anyone else have this issue?

Strange
There isn't any IP blocking, only a few email addresses banned from signing up new accounts from several years ago.

Next time it happens I'll do a PrntScr and show you. It sends to a page that tells me my IP is blocked due to potential viruses etc. I then press a button to say that I've cleared them and a day or 2 later everything is fine again.

Does the page still look like the forum (i.e. with the b2vos logo, menu bar).

Re: Being blocked from here
I'd be rather concerned if I were you then.
Could be a virus on your machine that's redirecting you somewhere bad.

Re: Being blocked from here
Maybe, but I've ran quite a lot of tests and everything comes back clean. Also it only ever happens on this site.
Re: Being blocked from here
It definitely sounds like something dodgy but it may be the site rather than your computer, I've suffered similar hacks on a couple of my websites in the past.
