Hello, osykams.myfreeforum.org is not accessible. I was in the process of updating the avatar for my admin account. I am also unable to get to http://www.myfreeforum.org/ I am however able to get to this forum (forum.myfreeforum.org). Is this unique to me or are there general server difficulties? Is there a specific location I can view or post for these outages (its not a "fried forum" but I was unsure where else to post). If it is a server outage - does this happen a lot? Regards, mjdalways

It's still not working for me. I can get to myfanforum.org, myfastforum.org, myfunforum.org. I can also get to (searched with google): http://tripleoakleaf.myfreeforum.org/ http://nmfhssouthport.myfreeforum.org/ http://wessexapgroup.myfreeforum.org/ But not: http://carerspovertyprotest.myfreeforum.org http://sloughlaurencians.myfreeforum.org http://belgagames.myfreeforum.org http://ourscotland.myfreeforum.org Could it be a single server hosting all of these? Any help appreciated - anything else I can check?

You must have triggered an IP ban. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

Hi, Its working now. What causes an IP ban? If this was the case - is it always just locked for a period of time? I really was just modifying my avatar - I was jumping around the galleries trying to choose my icon - but manually - nothing I would have expected to trigger a ban. Thanks, mjdalways

Gallery viewing will spark a lot of requests to the server, it may just end up looking like a flood attack. It is rare for that to happen, and it is a timed ban. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums
